Pizza Rustica Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or baking tray lined with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the base of the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Layer the Cheeses

    Tear the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and distribute it evenly over the tomato sauce. Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese and sprinkle it on top of the mozzarella.

  4. 4

    Add Mushrooms and Season

    Slice the mushrooms and arrange them evenly over the cheese. Drizzle olive oil over the top and season with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
