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.
