- 150 gram Water cold
- 10 gram Yeast
- 4.2 gram Sugar
- 200 gram Tipo 00 Flour wheat flour, approximately
- 100 gram Semolina flour - coarse semolina flour, approximately

- 120 gram Mascarpone
- 300 gram Mozzarella Chees grated

Instructions
- 1. Mix water, yeast, and sugar together in a stand mixer. Once the sugar is dissolved, add half of both types of flour. Stir until there are no more lumps.
- 2. Add salt and oil, mix slightly, then add the rest of the flour in two batches (if the dough feels too wet, you can add Tipo 00 flour).
- 3. Take the dough out of the mixer and knead it very thoroughly. Preferably for 10-12 minutes until it is completely smooth and elastic to the touch, then let the dough rise in the fridge for about an hour.
- 4. Form small dough balls of about 160 g each, knead them again briefly, and let them rise for 30 minutes on the kitchen counter. Preheat the oven to 250ºC, and optionally place a pizza stone in the oven.
- 5. Clean your mushrooms thoroughly with a small brush. Slice the zucchini, onions, and mushrooms thinly and place them in a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss everything together.
- 6. Roll out your pizza dough into 2 pizzas, as thin as you can without tearing it.
- 7. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the entire pizza and then a thin layer of mushrooms, zucchini, and onions. (Save 2 handfuls of zucchini and mushrooms).
- 8. Distribute the mozzarella and finally small dollops of mascarpone around the pizza.
- 9. When your oven is blazing hot, place the pizzas in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes until they are golden and crispy at the bottom.
- Garnish with a bit of the raw vegetables at the end.
