Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch ball Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup White button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Low sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves, torn
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to a 12-inch diameter. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced shiitake, cremini, and white button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.
Remove the cooked mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the sliced red onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. If needed, add a splash of water to help the onions soften without sticking.
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough.
Scatter the mushroom mixture evenly over the caramelized onions.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese over the top.
Transfer the pizza with the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, torn basil leaves, and a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza for a touch of sweetness.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium gourmet mushroom pizza slice.
