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.
