Do You Need Special Equipment?
Nope! Make this tasty cheesesteak pizza on a pizza stone or a sheet pan. Clear directions for making the best pizza are given just below.
IN A HURRY? Well, you can start with a ready-made pizza crust, and the whole affair will be a matter of minutes.
Cooking Instructions
- First of all, preheat your oven to 475F. This is of utmost importance whenever you are baking. You should preheat at least 20 mins before sliding your pizza stone or sheet pan inside the oven.
- Next, start preparing your toppings, beginning with the mushrooms. In a hot non-stick pan, cook the mushrooms until they are slightly golden on both sides, about 2 minutes total. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Saute the bell peppers and onions for an excellent, perfect pizza taste. You can use them raw, but sautéed vegetables are way richer in taste.
- While the mushrooms and vegetables are being done, slice the beef into strips. Doing these small things simultaneously will save a lot of your precious time.
- Once in thin strips, you can cook your beef quickly and simply. Just put it all in the pan and cook until it's nicely golden brown yet still juicy. This will take 2-3 minutes at best.
- Meanwhile, you can start with assembling the pizza. Spread pizza sauce (alternatively cheesy white sauce) on top of the dough and sprinkle za'atar.
- Next, Add the golden brown mushrooms, sautéed vegetables, cooked beef, and grated cheeses.
- Your oven must have been fuming and reached the perfect temperature by now.
- Place your pizza on a cookie sheet and cook it in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and starts to turn golden.
- Sprinkle arugula and sprouts over your pizza, cut into slices and enjoy while it's still hot!

White Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Butter
- Flour
- Milk
- Freshly grated parmesan
- Fresh parsley
- Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning
White sauce is extremely easy and simple. You can perfect it even if it's your first experience. There are quite a few variations, but this one is perfect for most of your recipes that require white sauce.
Heat butter in a pan and add flour. Roast a little. Turn around a few times and start adding milk gradually. The only important thing is to avoid rushing with the milk part. You go too fast, and it becomes lumpy. A huge turnoff.
After adding milk, cook it until it bubbles. Add roasted garlic and cook the sauce for 5 minutes. Leave it on the stove if you want the sauce to thicken just a little bit more. Add salt, pepper, and seasoning, and stir in cheese and parsley while it's still on the stove. This light heat is great for slowly melting the cheese and spices into the sauce.
Your white sauce is done. Remove from the stove and leave it aside.
