  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while you prepare the toppings.
  • Spread the white sauce over the rolled-out dough. Top with sliced mushrooms and mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Serving

  • Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
