Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

Let it Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Topping and Baking

Prepare the Toppings
While the dough is rising, prepare your toppings. Cook chorizo in a skillet until browned, set aside. Sauté garlic mushrooms until tender, and have roasted red peppers ready.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

Stretch the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. If using a pizza stone, transfer it to a pizza peel dusted with flour.

Assemble the Pizza
Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Top with mozzarella cheese, chorizo, roasted red peppers, and garlic mushrooms.
