Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup marinara sauce
1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
8 ounces bulk spicy pork sausage, cooked and drained
1/3 cup chopped onion
Optional: minced fresh basil, red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°. Place a 10-inch Dutch oven on bottom rack in oven to heat through, 2-3 minutes.
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Fold an 18-in. piece of foil lengthwise into thirds, making a sling. Remove Dutch oven from oven; place crust on sling and gently lower dough into bottom, using a wooden spoon to move dough into place and up the sides. Brush crust with oil; spread with marinara sauce. Top evenly with cheese, pork, onion and mushrooms.
Bake until crust is lightly browned and crisp, 20 minutes. Cool slightly. Remove from Dutch oven. Serve with basil, red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese as desired.
