Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 200 grams Wild mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, or a mix)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 200 grams (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 handful (optional, for garnish) Fresh arugula
- 1 tablespoon Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) or as high as your oven allows. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Clean the wild mushrooms using a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Slice them into thin, even pieces.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their water and turn golden. Stir in chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If the dough resists, let it rest for a few minutes before rolling again.
Transfer the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling. Brush the entire surface with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Spread an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Top the cheese with the sautéed wild mushrooms. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mushrooms.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Optionally, top with fresh arugula for a peppery kick.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Wild Mushroom Pizza!
