Pepperoni, Sausage, and Mushroom Valentine Pizza | Easy Home Meals

Ingredients

• 1 loaf Bridgford Frozen Ready-Dough®, thawed
• 3 oz. Bridgford Sliced Pepperoni
• ½ cup fresh mushrooms, thinly sliced
• ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, grated
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 4 small links sweet Italian sausage, cooked and thinly sliced
• ½ cup canned Italian plum tomatoes, drained and chopped
• 2 Tbsp. fresh basil or 2 tsp. dried (fresh tastes the best!)
• Sauté mushrooms and onion in 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (save the remaining 1/2 teaspoon for later) until onion begins to turn transparent (just a few minutes).
• Drain excess liquid; set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, shape dough into a ball, then roll out to a 9-inch circle.
• Place dough to fit in a greased heart shaped pan (9-12-inches).
• If you do not have a heart shaped pan, use a 12-inch circular pizza pan or cookie sheet or cut a large heart shape from a 12-inch circle of parchment paper and place on a greased cookie sheet.
• Pierce dough several times with fork.
• Bake in preheated 375° oven for 5 minutes then remove.
• Increase oven temperature to 425°.
• Top dough with both kinds of cheese, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and rest of toppings.
• Bake at 425° for 15-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling. Remove from pan to wire rack and serve.
