Pizza Kitchenware for Pizza Stones and Pizza Peels.
Place pizza stone in oven and
preheat to 500 degrees.
Heat the oil in a wide frying pan
and add garlic, onion, and mushrooms. Cook on medium heat, stirring
occasionally, for about 15 minutes to brown the onions and
mushrooms.
Add sliced or diced sausages,
parsley, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Sprinkle pizza peel with a
little cornmeal, and then shape the pizza crust and place over the
cornmeal on the peel.
Spread the crust with the mushroom
mixture, sprinkle with cheeses. Slip the assembled pizza onto the
pizza stone, reduce heat to 400 degrees, and bake about 15-20
minutes, or until cheeses are browned and crust is done. |
