Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF (232°C). Place your pizza stone in the oven to preheat for 30 minutes before cooking the pizza. (If you don’t have a stone, you can use a baking sheet.)
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the mushrooms and shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden and the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic, oregano, thyme, and salt. Continue cooking for 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
- On lightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll each dough ball into a 12-inch (30-cm) circle. Brush the edges of both pizza crusts with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle the edges with a pinch of salt. Top the area within the edges of both crusts with the mozzarella, dollops of ricotta, and the mushroom mixture.
- Transfer 1 pizza at a time to the preheated stone and bake until the crust is golden, 12 to 16 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with shaved Parmesan cheese. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Get ahead--The pizza dough can be prepared a day in advance and stored in an oiled, covered container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before rolling and topping.
- Use a peel--A pizza peel is the best tool for transferring pizza to a baking stone or the oven. If you're uncomfortable attempting to transfer your pizza stone with a peel, simply slide the parchment containing the pizza directly onto the baking stone.
- Dietary--This mushroom pizza recipe is suitable for vegetarian diets. To make it gluten-free substitute gluten-free pizza dough.
