Ingredients
- 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 10 oz mixed mushrooms (wild if possible), torn or sliced
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
- 1/2 recipe artisan pizza dough (one 15 oz dough ball)
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
- 3 oz shredded fontina
- 1 oz shredded parmesan
Instructions
- Place pizza steel or stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. Let steel heat up for a full 45 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering. Add half of mushrooms and cook over high heat without stirring for about 3 minutes, until bottoms have caramelized. Season with salt and pepper; stir in 1 tablespoon butter and a garlic clove.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are crispy and browned, 10- 12 minutes. Discard garlic clove and transfer to a plate. Repeat process with remaining mushrooms, butter and garlic.
- When oven is ready, generously flour a pizza peel and set aside.
- On a floured surface, flatten the middle of the dough ball into a large disk, leaving a thick 1-inch lip. Pick up the disk, and holding the thick edge, use gravity to shape the dough into a 12-inch circle. Lay on prepared pizza peel and adjust shape into a circle. Jiggle the peel to make sure the dough isn’t sticking; add more flour if it is.
- Brush remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil all over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with oregano, thyme, fontina and parmesan. Spread mushrooms on top.
- Jiggle the peel to make sure nothing is sticking, then slide pizza onto steel and bake for 5 minutes. Broil for 2- 4 minutes, watching pizza closely, until cheese is bubbly and crust is charred in spots.
- Let pizza cool slightly. Sprinkle with more thyme and oregano, then slice and serve.
