Ingredients

  • 10 oz pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Alfredo sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Small handful arugula optional
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees f. Place the rack in the lowest setting and your pizza stone or cast iron pan on top of the rack.
  • Make the sauce. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, add the butter until it melts. Whisk in the flour and continue to whisk until you have a paste. Slowly whisk in the milk and stir constantly until you have added all the milk and you have a thick sauce, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and add parmesan, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 - 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
  • Place the dough ball on a lightly floured surface and press it down with your hand. Start stretching the dough with your hands. Stretch the dough out to large rectangle.
  • Place the pizza dough on top of a sheet of parchment paper. Then place it on top of a pizza board (this will make it easy to slide it into the oven).
  • Top the pizza with the Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese and sauteed mushrooms. Brush the edges of the pizza with the olive oil.
  • Slide the pizza into the oven on the preheated oven. Bake between 6 – 8 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let sit for a couple of minutes. Top with fresh arugula if using. Cut and serve.

Notes

  1. Pizza dough – the time stated  does not include the time it takes to make pizza dough. For this recipe you can use you own dough, purchased pizza dough or a purchased thin crust pizza crust.
  2. Pizza assembly – I always like to assemble my pizza on a sheet of parchment paper placed on top of a pizza board. This makes it very easy to slide the pizza into the oven. The pizza will go in the oven on top of the parchment paper.
  3. Cooking the pizza – It’s very important to have a preheated surface in the oven to place your pizza on top of. I can’t stress this enough. It’s best to use a heavy surface like a pizza stone, cast iron or baking steel. If you don’t have any of those things, use a baking sheet of any kind.
