Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza

Everyone is cooking and baking more during the COVID-19 lockdown, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the dishes you normally pick up on the way home or have delivered. Sure, you can call UberEats or DoorDash to handle your cravings, but what if you took this opportunity to make it yourself.  This pizza is one such dish – perfect for making at home while you are stuck inside. Of course, it takes a little preparation by picking up the pepperoni, cheese, etc during one of your essential trips to the store, but it is well worth the planning. Since this post uses two previous posts, I am only going to reference the link for the pizza dough here and provide a simpler pizza sauce recipe below. Top this tasty dough and sauce with whatever you like – I happen to have had a hankering for a simple pepperoni and mushroom pizza and this satisfied that desire perfectly. Once topped, bake at 475 degrees for 16 to 18 minutes and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting and diving in!
