Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Pizza stone

Ingredients

For the crust:

  • cups all purpose flour
  • 1 package of yeast or 2¼ teaspoon from the jar of yeast.
  • ¼ tsp sugar use ½ if you want a sweeter dough.
  • 3 tbsp garlic olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup almond milk warm to the touch to activate the yeast. You can also use water or regular milk here as a substitute for almond milk.

For the pizza toppings:

  • 2 links of cooked Chinese sausage thinly sliced and set aside.
  • 4 grams dried mushrooms soaked for approximately 8 minutes then coarsely cut.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese more or less depending on taste.
  • garlic olive oil to spread on the dough in place of marinara sauce.
  • 1 tsp salt to sprinkle on top of the pizza after its cooked (optional).

Instructions

Instructions for the crust:

  • Preheat the oven to 475oF.
  • Put the package of yeast, sugar and warm almond milk in a bowl.
  • Mix well and set mixture aside for 10 minutes. You will notice bubbles forming in the mixture. If bubbles do not form, discard mixture and make a new one because it means the yeast are not activated.
  • In the meantime, add flour, salt, olive oil to a stand mixer.
  • After 10 minutes, add the yeast, sugar, and almond milk mixture to the stand mixer with a dough hook attached. Turn the stand mixture on and let it mix for 8 minutes until everything is well combined. Using the stand mixer will eliminate the need for kneading the dough, which will save you time. You may need to adjust the dough texture here. If it looks to wet, sprinkle a teaspoon of flour in, if it looks too dry, add some more garlic olive oil, water or milk.
  • Place some cornmeal on a flat surface and place the dough on top and start rolling out the dough to the desired diameter/size.

Instructions for the toppings:

  • Add garlic olive oil onto the pizza dough using a brush. This will serve as the sauce.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  • Add the soaked dried mushrooms...
  • Then add the thinly sliced cooked Chinese sausage. You want to keep the Chinese sausage on top so that it gets cooked thoroughly and browns nicely.
  • Bake the pizza until crust is golden brown in 475 degree Fahrenheit Oven.
  • After the pizza is nice and golden brown, you can sprinkle some sea salt on top (optional).
