makes 1

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

4 1⁄2oz (125g) mushrooms, sliced

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 ball pizza dough

all-purpose flour, for dusting

semolina flour or cornmeal

2–3 tbsp tomato puree or passata

5 1⁄2oz (150g) mozzarella, torn into pieces

hot chili oil, to serve (optional)

Method:

1 Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Put a heavy baking tray in the oven to get hot. (They both need to be really hot before cooking the pizza.)

2 Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan, add the mushrooms, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften. Season well with salt and pepper.

3 Place the dough on a floured surface and roll it out as thin as you can about 10–12in (25–30cm) in diameter. Brush the hot baking tray with oil, sprinkle with semolina, and carefully place the dough on top.

4 Add the tomato sauce over the pizza and smooth it out evenly with the back of a spoon. Top with the cheese, then the mushrooms. Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is bubbling. Drizzle with chili oil, and serve.
