Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade dough ball Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups, thinly sliced Cremini mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1.5 cups, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cups, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for dusting the pizza stone or baking sheet) Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
If using store-bought pizza dough, let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to make it easier to roll. If homemade, roll it out into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme, and cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and tender. Set aside.
Brush the pizza dough with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring an even coating across the surface.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Distribute the cooked mushrooms and garlic mixture evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top for added flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone if using). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Slice into 6-8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your homemade Mushroom and Garlic Pizza!
