Preparation

Step 1

For the pizza dough: I often double of triple this recipe and keep the extra dough in the freezer.

Place the yeast and sugar in an electric mixing bowl with a bread hook attachment. Pour 1/4 cup of warm water over the yeast ans swirl. Allow the mixture to foam for 10 minutes.

Then add the remaining 1/2 cup of water, oil and salt. Turn the mixture on low and slowly add 2 cups of bread flour. Allow the mixer to run until the flour is well combined and the hook is kneading the dough. The dough should be very sticky, but still firm enough to pick up. Add a little more flour if needed. Let he mixer knead the dough for another 5-10 minutes.

Drizzle olive oil around the sides of the mixing bowl, lifting the dough for good coverage. Cover the mixing bowl and let the dough rise for 2 hours.

Once the dough has doubled in size dump in out on a floured work surface and cut it into 2 - 8 oz. pieces. Roll the ends under to create round balls.

Then using a well-floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to 12 inch circles. Place the dough circles on parchment paper. Lightly oil the tops and let them rest while the grill is heating.

Preheat the grill to high. One at a time, Flip the dough circles onto the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F and place a pizza stone in the oven to heat. On a piece of parchment paper, roll out (or stretch) the pizza crust into a large 14 inch circle. Brush the pizza crust with 1 tablespoon olive oil and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat, and add the butter, sliced crimini mushrooms and sliced shallots. Salt and pepper to taste. Then stir and saute for 10-12 minutes, until the onions and mushrooms are soft and slightly caramelized.

Re-stretch the pizza crust and spread a thin layer of spicy mustard over the top of the crust. Then spread the sauteed onions and mushrooms over the mustard. Place pieces of thinly sliced steak over the mushrooms, followed by a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

Using a flat baking sheet or pizza paddle, slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone and bake for 7-10 minutes until the edges are bubbled and crusty. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh scallions before slicing and serving.
