- sliced chorizo sausage
- sliced fresh mushrooms
- thinly sliced red onion
- grated smoked mozzarella
- grated Monterey Jack
Method
- Roll out dough to the size you want
- Brush on olive oil and crushed garlic mixture
- Flip dough onto a pizza pan so that the oiled side is down
- Brush top side with oil and garlic mix and allow to sit for 1 hour
- Spread pizza sauce onto dough (don’t over do it)
- Spread ½ half of cheese
- Evenly distribute meats, onions and mushrooms
- Spread remaining cheese
- Bake in a very hot oven 475-500 degrees for approximately 20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown

Sounds great. Have you used a pizza stone? You sit your pizza on it and it helps to crust up the base. They are great. Plus it means if you have a hood, you can do pizza on the barbeque.
