You can make these in advance and freeze them. When ever you would like some, just take them from the freezer, heat in a oven, serve with the sauce and your all set. Kids love these as well as adults!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 (1/4 ounce) package yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups flour
1 cup mushroom, sliced thin
1 lb Italian sausage, cooked
1 cup pepperoni
2 cups mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • For the Dough: dissolve the yeast in the warm water, it should be 105°F to max 115°F until it bubbles a little about 5 minutes. (any higher it will kill the yeast.) In a large bowl, stir in the sugar,oil,salt and 1 cup flour. Add enough flour so it is easy to handle or (you can put it in a food processor). Remove dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough, put in a warm place and let it rise for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • For the Sauce: Add olive oil to medium heat in a sauce pan. Add garlic and crushed red pepper to the heated oil; when pepper snaps and garlic sizzles, stir in crushed tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasonings. Simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in parsley.
  • Roll the dough into 4 10 inch circles. Place sauce and topping mix over half of the dough. Add 1/2 cup cheese. Fold over and crimp the edges shut.Brush the edges with melted butter or beaten egg wash. Bake at 350°F for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with additional sauce on the side or on top.
