Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams (sliced thinly) Cremini mushrooms
- 3 cloves (thinly sliced) Garlic
- 150 grams (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 50 grams (roughly chopped) Walnuts
- 1 teaspoon (chopped, plus extra for garnish) Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (for rolling out the dough) All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Lightly flour a clean surface, then roll out the pizza dough into a roughly 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Brush the rolled-out pizza dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of crust around the edges.
Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the mozzarella cheese. Add the thinly sliced garlic, chopped walnuts, and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Sprinkle the chopped thyme over the pizza for added flavor.
Using the parchment paper for support, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pizza with Mushrooms, Garlic, and Walnuts!
