Pizza with mushrooms and zucchini
Description
You can make pizza with mushrooms and courgettes (zucchini) on a weekday or for any festive table. A filling of sautéed mushrooms and vegetables with cheese can taste great even without meat. And if you’re lucky enough to get wild mushrooms, this pizza might become your favorite dish — be sure to try it. The bake is ready. Serve at the table.

Knead a soft, slightly sticky dough by hand. Rub it with oil, gather it into a ball, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and leave it in a warm place for about an hour.

Step 5
Slice the zucchini into rounds, then cut each round into another 2–4 pieces, depending on size. Heat a frying pan with oil and sauté the zucchini on both sides until it reaches your desired doneness. At the end, season lightly with salt.

Step 6
Transfer the fried zucchini to a plate for now, and in the same pan sauté the diced onion with the mushrooms. You can use any mushrooms you like; I had frozen oyster mushrooms. At the end, add salt to taste—you can use black pepper or any other spices to taste.

Step 7
The amount of dough ingredients is enough for two pizzas about 27 cm in diameter. I divide the risen dough into two parts and freeze the second part until I need it. The dough freezes very well, which is very convenient. You can also bake two pizzas with different toppings at the same time.

Step 8
Dust your work surface with flour. Roll the dough out thin and transfer it to a greased pan. With your hands, shape small raised edges, then prick the bottom with a fork.

Step 10
Sprinkle everything with grated cheese and bake in the oven at 230°C for about 10 minutes. Go by your own oven: the base cooks quite quickly, and the most important thing is not to dry it out.
