Lightly flour surface and roll dough into 16 inch circle or 15 X 11 inch rectangle. Place in greased 14 inch round deep dish pizza pan or 13 X 9 inch baking pan, pushing dough halfway up sides of pan. Cover; let rise in warm place about 15 minutes.Spread sauce over dough. Put mushroom on top of sauce and olives. Sprinkle with Cheese . Bake 20 -25 minutes until edge is crisp and golden brown and cheese melted.
The Results:
* I used a 13 X 9 inch baking dish.
* I also used mozzerella and cheddar cheese
* It looks like alot but it was really easy to put together
* Serve with a side salad
* I should have taken a picture of it on a plate but I didn't. It still was good.
