Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 1 pizza
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough (foolproof recipe)
- 1 cup wild mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or large baking sheet inside to ensure a crispy crust.
- Gently stretch the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-14 inch round, being careful not to tear the dough.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sauté the sliced wild mushrooms until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix ricotta cheese with salt and pepper to taste, creating a smooth spreadable base.
- Transfer the stretched dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.
- Spread the seasoned ricotta cheese evenly across the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Distribute the sautéed wild mushrooms and garlic evenly over the ricotta base.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the top, covering the mushrooms.
- Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, slice, and serve immediately.
Tips
- Preheat for Perfection: Always preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with your pizza stone or baking sheet inside. This step is crucial for achieving that crispy crust we all crave!
- Handle with Care: When stretching your pizza dough, be gentle to avoid tearing. If the dough resists, let it rest for a few minutes before trying again.
- Sautéing Magic: For the best flavor, make sure to sauté the wild mushrooms until they are golden brown. This enhances their natural umami taste and adds depth to your pizza.
- Season Wisely: Don’t forget to season your ricotta cheese! A pinch of salt and pepper can elevate the flavor and create a delicious base for your toppings.
- Easy Transfer: Use parchment paper to transfer your pizza to the oven easily. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!
- Watch the Clock: Keep an eye on your pizza as it bakes. Ovens can vary, so check for a golden-brown crust and bubbling cheese to know when it’s done.
- Garnish for Flair: A sprinkle of fresh parsley not only adds color but also a burst of freshness that complements the rich flavors beautifully. Enjoy creating your Wild Mushroom Garlic White Pizza, and don’t forget to share your masterpiece with friends and family!
