Sausage and mushroom pizza

Place a pizza stone in the oven. Preheat the oven to 550 for at least 30 minutes

Meanwhile in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and saute the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, or until soft. Add the sausage and stir until lightly browned. Drain off the fat, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Add 2 tbsp olive oil and saute the mushrooms until they release their moisture and are browned; set aside.

Lay an unbaked, shaped pizza round on the the lightly floured pizza stone. Add a ladle of tomato sauce to the center. Use the bottom of the ladle to swirl out a spiral of sauce to cover the surface, Leaving about a 1 inch border. Top with half of the mozzarella. Distribute half the sausage mixture and mushrooms evenly over the mozzarella. Sprinkle with Parmesan and half the basil.

Bake for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the crust is puffy and browned. Remove from the oven, cut into wedges, and serve at once. Repeat to make 2 pizzas.
