EASY+ EPIC MUSHROOM PIZZA

I kinda feel like I’m cheating on my family by sharing this pizza recipe. But then again, I’m sure my Italian mother supports ease at all costs. In fact anyone that reads this that knows her is thinking - Lori definitely supports the chill life. Making pizza from scratch is no longer a process - this is seriously easy!

How do you make the most easy pizza dough from scratch?
- 1.5 cups of self rising flour
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- some oil or spray for the pan
 
….right? No process, just a little kneading and you got it sorted. Totally my style anyways. If this recipe was a person it would be my favourite type - blunt.
 
When I think about my dream pizza, a few ideas come to mind: pesto, truffle oil, mushrooms, Parmesan and sun-dried tomatoes. Truffle oil is on the expensive side - but it will become your new fancy cooking friend.
 
Ingredients:
Easy pizza dough (see above)
Portobello mushrooms, sliced
sun-dried tomatoes
Truffle oil
Parmesan
Avocado Pesto (see below)
 
*Before making the sauce - pop the pizza crust in the oven, and bake on 250 C for 5 minutes to pre-bake.
 
How to make Avocado pesto? You need a blender, we use a Ninja bullet but food processor would work too. I’m always coming from a low-maintenance place so if someone has a strong opinion on one or the other… okay :)
 
Ingredients
1 avocado
Fresh basil
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup Parmesan
Minced garlic
Sea salt to taste
Cajun spice if desired
 
Guess what? You blend that all together. Voila!
 
Once you have your sauce, remove the pizza crust from the oven and add pesto sauce followed by mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella and bake for 10-15 minutes. Add fresh Parmesan and truffle oil on top. Be extra cheeky by adding some garlic aioli for dip - I would ;)
