Yields

4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup warm water
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cups mixed mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
4 large flour tortillas
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy.

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the bowl.

Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces.

Roll out each piece into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick.

Arrange the tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese on each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Top the ricotta cheese with sliced onions, mushrooms, and minced garlic.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped parsley over the top. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.

If desired, add red pepper flakes for some heat.

Bake the tortilla pizzas in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an easier dough-making process, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment to mix and knead the dough. To ensure even cooking, make sure the tortillas are rolled out to the same thickness and baked for the same amount of time.

If using red pepper flakes, start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as the heat level can quickly add up.

Ricotta cheese can be substituted with similar soft cheeses, like cottage cheese or mascarpone, but keep in mind the flavor and texture may vary. For a crisper crust, bake the tortilla pizzas for an additional 2-3 minutes, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite ingredients, such as bell peppers, olives, or pepperoni, to make it a personalized pizza experience.
