In a stand mixer or large bowl mix the yeast and water. Let stand 10 minutes or until it begins to foam.
Add the flour, salt, and 1 TBSP oil. Mix until well combined and dough pulls away from sides of the bowl.
Use a little oil to lightly cover sides and bottom of a separate large bowl.
Knead the dough 10 minutes by hand or about 5 minutes using a stand mixer with a dough hook.
Form the dough in a ball and place in the oiled bowl. Cover and put in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes.
FOR THE PIZZA:
Add the sausage to a large pan over medium heat and cook, while breaking up, until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms and sausage are well browned, about 5 more minutes. Remove sausage mixture to a paper towel lined plate to drain and set aside.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of an 11-inch pie plate with the 3 TBSP of oil, set aside.
Separate the dough into two balls, one a little larger than the other, roughly a 12 ounce ball and 10 ounce ball.
Roll out the larger dough ball into a circle a little larger than the pie plate, enough to go up the sides and hang over a bit. Stretch the dough onto the pie plate lightly pressing against the bottom and sides, making sure a little dough overhangs from the edges.
Spread half the pizza sauce on the dough then top with half the cheese. Spread on all of the sausage mushroom mixture.
Roll out the other smaller dough ball into a circle a little large than the pie plate. Top the pie plate with the dough circle and cinch the edges of the dough with the edges of the bottom dough, roll up to form a crust all the way around.
Cut 4 slits in the top of the dough about 3 inches wide to allow steam to escape. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove pizza pie from the oven, spread on the remaining pizza sauce and top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 more minutes or until edges become golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes, cut, serve and eat with a fork.
