Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 8 oz Wild mushrooms (e.g., cremini, shiitake, or oyster), sliced
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1 large Onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until caramelized. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the sliced wild mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and golden. Season with half of the 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. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza paddle or baking sheet.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Distribute the caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes on top of the cheese.
Top the pizza with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme leaves, and the remaining salt and black pepper.
Transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
