Instructions

1- Prepare the Dough:

• In a large bowl, combine yeast and sugar with 1 cup of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it begins to foam.
• Add salt, olive oil, and flour to the yeast mixture. Gradually add the remaining water and knead the dough until smooth.
• Grease a bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, place the dough in the bowl, and cover with a heavy towel. Let it rest for 40 minutes to 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

2- Make the White Sauce:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until combined.
• Slowly add milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Add parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth. Set aside.

3- Prepare the Toppings:

• Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the shaved beef and cook for 5 minutes or until fully cooked.
• Add the sliced mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, and Montreal steak seasoning. Sauté for a few more minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.

4- Assemble the Pizza:

• Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
• Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
• Spread the white sauce evenly over the dough.
• Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella and provolone cheese over the sauce.
• Add the cooked steak and vegetable mixture on top.
• Finish with another layer of cheese.

5- Bake:

• Transfer the pizza to a baking tray or pizza stone and place it in the oven.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

6- Enjoy:

• Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly, slice, and serve.
