Instructions
- Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add the sliced mushrooms and thyme and saute the mushrooms for about 5 minutes until a lot of the moisture has evaporated. Add the crushed garlic and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Season with salt then turn off the heat and set aside.
- Pre-heat the oven to 535F (280C) or the highest your oven will go.
- Dust a clean work surface with a little flour. Cut the dough in half and roll out the dough to fit your pizza tray.
- Sprinkle your tray with a little semolina, cornmeal or flour and place the dough on top (this stops it from sticking and gives a crispy base).
- Add the oregano, a pinch of salt and about 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil to the passata and stir to combine. Spread the tomato passata on top of the dough then top with the mozzarella followed by the cooked mushrooms and taleggio cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the crust is light golden brown and the cheese has melted. Let the pizza sit for a couple of minutes before cutting into slices and serving.
Notes
- Homemade pizza dough - this recipe uses 1 ball of homemade pizza dough which is half a batch. I recommend making the full batch and either freezing the second ball if you don't plan on using it or make a second pizza from our pizza recipe collection.
- Cook the mushrooms first - cooking the mushrooms before adding to the pizza adds so much flavour. If you put them on raw they'll dry out and don't taste nearly as good.
- Total time does not include making the dough.
