This Pizza Ai Funghi recipe is so easy and so delicious! It’s simple. It’s flavorful… Fresh and with Italian flavors
1. Make the base: Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well, pour in 300 ml warm water and the olive oil and bring together with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth. To achieve the perfect consistency, when making the dough, keep some extra flour and water nearby to add if necessary. Cover with a tea towel and set aside. You can leave the dough to rise if you like, but it’s not essential for a thin crust.

2. Roll out the dough: if you’ve let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into a ball. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large rounds, about 25cm across, using a rolling pin. The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven. Lift the rounds onto two floured baking sheets.
3. Top and bake: heat the oven to 460°C to 485°C fan/gas 8. Put another baking sheet or an upturned baking tray in the oven on the top shelf. Place the pizza stone on the center oven or grill rack and preheat to 460°C to 485°C, after 10-15 min maxim.
Cover the pizzas with the tomato puree by distributing it in a circular motion with the back of a spoon. Take the mushrooms and distribute them evenly over the pizzas. Salt and pepper lightly, drizzle with a drizzle of oil and cook one pizza at a time in your oven for about 15 minutes, being careful not to let them burn.
Halfway through cooking, remove the pizza, cover it with a little mozzarella cut into small pieces and put it back in the oven to melt it, completing cooking.
Check the cooking of the pizza by lifting the edge with the help of a fork. Check that the bottom is not burnt, then once cooked take it out of the oven and serve it hot, parsley leaves on top, if desired.
Repeat step for remaining pizza dough.
Slice the pizzas and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Pizza Ai Funghi!
