Mushroom Pizza

Ingredients:

3 cups mushrooms
1 medium onion, sliced
3 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper
5 Italian sausage
1 small jar pizza sauce
1 frozen loaf of white bread
1 tablespoon fennel seed
1 tablespoon sesame seed
1 tablespoon pressed garlic
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons juice from jar of banana peppers
                                       
Preparation:
You will need two skillets. In the first skillet, sauté the mushrooms and onion in the butter. Prepare the second skillet for the sausage. To remove the sausage from the casings, hold the links under cold running water. Use a pair of scissors to cut the casing down the side and slide the sausage out. Using the same scissors, snip the sausage into bite-size pieces. Cook the sausage in the skillet until done. Drain the meat and add the pizza sauce and the diced tomatoes. Heat and then add the mushrooms to the sausage skillet and keep warm until ready. If the mixture is too dry for your tastes, add more pizza sauce or diced tomatoes at this point. Pour the still hot mushroom sausage mixture down the center of the dough. Pile it as high as two inches, if need be. Evenly distribute the cheese over the top and sides. Keep the meat and cheese about two inches from each end.
Use the scissors to cut one-inch strips at a diagonal, on each side of the meat. When you are done, begin at one end and tuck the end piece up and over the meat. Starting on that end, bring one strip from each side and lace the strips over the top of the meat and tuck each end in on the opposite sides. Do this until the entire pizza has been laced up inside the loaf of bread. Do not lace tightly. Spray the cookie sheet and carefully move the pizza loaf to the cookie sheet. Brush the top of the pizza with melted garlic butter and place it in the oven at 320 degrees for about 40 minutes or until it starts to brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Transfer to the prepared pan. Turn edges under to make a slight rim. Spread the onion mixture over the dough. Scatter goat cheese and olives over the onions.
