Pepper and Mushroom BBQ Pizza


I'm afraid I've become a bit obsessed with pizza as of late. Of course, pizza is delicious, but on top of that, it is great as leftovers.

One of my favorite questions to ask people is "if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?" I know. Weird thing to ask, right? One of my answers is always pizza because there are just so many kinds! You can have it with marinara sauce, BBQ sauce, cream cheese, pesto...the options are endless! How awesome!


Pepper and Mushroom BBQ Pizza

Dough from Epicurious

1 cup warm water

1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

3/4 cups white whole wheat flour

3 tablespoons vital wheat gluten

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil


Whisk warm water and yeast in a small bowl. Let stand until yeast dissolves, 5 minutes.


Mix flours, wheat gluten and salt together. Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil into yeast mixture. Gradually add yeast mixture to flour mixture, kneading as you go. Knead until dough will form ball. Brush large bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place dough in bowl and turn to coat. Let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.


Separate dough into 2 balls, place one in a plastic bag and put in freezer for next time! Roll out dough ball into a pizza shape and place on a pizza stone coated with cornmeal. Place BBQ sauce over dough. Sprinkle white cheddar and parmesan cheese over pizza, followed by chopped peppers (any color) and mushrooms. Place pizza in a 400 degree oven and bake for about 15 minutes.
