  • 1 cup warm water (110-115°F)
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

For topping:

  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup grated manchego cheese

  • 1/4 cup cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Cooking Instructions

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 28 minutes (plus resting time)

Serves: 4-5

  • For crust: Generously grease a large bowl with olive oil and set aside. Combine water, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Mix on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Let stand until yeast is foamy, about 5 minutes. Add flour and salt. Mix on medium speed until a smooth dough is formed, about 3 to 6 minutes. Transfer dough to the prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Place pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. On a lightly floured surface, press dough into a 14-inch round circle. Transfer dough round to lightly floured pizza peel.
  • For topping: In a small bowl, combine tomato sauce, paprika and salt. Spread tomato sauce over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with cheese, chorizo, mushrooms and red peppers, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Quickly slide pizza onto preheated pizza stone. Bake, rotating pizza halfway through, until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 to 8 minutes. Top with parsley. Slice and serve with Bogle Merlot!
