Homemade Cremini Mushroom Pizza sounds delicious! Here’s a simple recipe to guide you through making it:
Ingredients:
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Olive oil
- 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your pizza dough, usually around 450Β°F (230Β°C).
- Prepare the mushrooms: Heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are softened and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Prepare the pizza dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone that’s been lightly greased or dusted with cornmeal.
- Assemble the pizza: Drizzle a little olive oil over the pizza dough and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Spread the cooked mushrooms and garlic evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake the pizza: Transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.
- Finish and serve: Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and red pepper flakes over the top if desired. Slice and serve hot.
