Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk baking mix and hot water with a fork until a soft dough forms.
-
Pat or roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on an ungreased baking sheet or pizza pan.
-
In a separate small bowl, mix together the tomato sauce and chopped green onion; spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
-
Top the sauce with shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced mushrooms, sliced ripe olives, and tomato slices.
-
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the toppings.
-
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edge of the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
-
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately arrange the avocado slices over the hot toppings.
-
Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve warm.
Note
To prevent the avocado from browning, sprinkle the slices with a little lemon or lime juice before adding them to the hot pizza.
You can substitute the buttermilk baking mix with a quick bread mix or make a simple dough from flour, yeast, and water if preferred.
For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the tomato sauce mixture.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though the avocado may darken slightly.
