Indulge in the irresistible flavors of a savory Tasty MUSHROO Pizza! This easy-to-make recipe will satisfy your cravings for a homemade pizza with caramelized MUSHROOs, melted cheese, and aromatic herbs.
Ingredients
⦁ 4 tablespoons of Olive Oil
⦁ 3 cloves of Garlic, minced
⦁ 1 small Onion, peeled and sliced
⦁ 250 gms of MUSHROOs thinly sliced
⦁ ½ teaspoon of dried Thyme
⦁ ½ teaspoon of dried Oregano or Rosemary
⦁ ½ teaspoon of Chili flakes
⦁ Salt and Pepper to taste.
⦁ ¼ cup of yellow Cornmeal or extra flour for dusting the pizza stone or pan
⦁ ½ pound of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
⦁ 8 ounces of Mozzarella cheese, grated (approximately 2 cups)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
⦁ Place the pizza stone/baking sheet in the oven and preheat it to 450-500°F. Preheat the oven for at least 30 minutes.
⦁ Take the pizza dough from the fridge and let it reach room temperature.
2. Prepare the Flavorful MUSHROOs
⦁ Begin by putting 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
⦁ Add the MUSHROOs, shallots, chili flakes, garlic, thyme, and oregano.
⦁ Sauté the mixture, occasionally stirring, until the MUSHROOs are tender, brown, and flavorful (about 5-6 minutes).
⦁ Sprinkle with salt and pepper or a little splash of vinegar. Continue cooking until it has evaporated and the MUSHROOs are beautifully caramelized (approximately 3-5 minutes).
⦁ Set the skillet aside to cool.
3. Prepare the Pizza Base
⦁ Sprinkle cornmeal or a small amount of all-purpose flour onto a pizza pan, baking sheet, or the back of a rimmed baking sheet.
⦁ Roll the pizza dough into a 10 inch circle.
⦁ Gently place the dough onto the prepared surface.
4. Assemble the Scrumptious Pizza
⦁ Make a pizza dough with a thin layer of the remaining olive oil.
⦁ Sprinkle ¾ of the grated mozzarella evenly over the dough.
⦁ Spread the sautéed MUSHROO mixture on top, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the MUSHROOs.
5. Bake to Perfection
⦁ Transfer the pizza carefully into the preheated oven on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
⦁ Bake until the cheese and crust turn a beautiful golden brown, and the cheese is perfectly melted (approximately 8-10 minutes).
6. Add Finishing Touches, Slice, and Savor
⦁ Once out of the oven, garnish the pizza with chopped parsley and lemon zest for freshness.
⦁ Feel free to add any additional desired toppings.
⦁ Slice the pizza and serve immediately, savoring every delicious bite.
