Ingredients
- 1 ball Homemade Whole Wheat Pizza Dough or swap your favorite store-bought dough
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces mixed sliced mushrooms such as baby bella, shitake, or oyster (avoid white button mushrooms which lack flavor), about 2 cups
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large clove garlic thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the upper third of your oven (4 to 5 inches from the top). Preheat the oven to 500°F (or as high as your oven will go). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and salt. Sauté until the mushrooms soften, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is ultra fragrant and looking a little toasty, 1-2 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. If it shrinks back, let it rest for several minutes, then try again.
- If cooking on a pizza stone: set a sheet of broiler-safe parchment paper placed on the back of a flat baking sheet (this is what I do) and transfer the dough to it (or transfer to a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel). If you do not have a pizza stone, lightly dust a regular baking sheet with flour or cornmeal, then place the shaped dough directly in the center.
- Top the dough with the tomato sauce, leaving a ¾-inch border all the way around. Top evenly with the mozzarella, mushroom mixture, and Parmesan.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the stone, either with the peel or by sliding the sheet of parchment with the pizza on it directly onto the stone. (If using a baking sheet instead of a stone, simply place the pizza into the oven.) Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the crust is golden and slightly blistered, rotating 180 degrees halfway through. Transfer to a cutting board. Let cool a few minutes, then slice and enjoy.
