Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- Divide pizza dough into two equal portions. On a floured surface, stretch or roll each into a 12-inch round. Transfer to parchment paper or a floured pizza peel.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and moisture evaporates, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat.
- Spread half of the pizza sauce over each dough round, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with mozzarella cheese, then sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Transfer pizzas to the hot oven (or onto the pizza stone). Bake until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, 12-15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, slice, and serve hot.
Tips
- For a crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Substitute shiitake or oyster mushrooms for a different flavor.
- Serve with red pepper flakes for heat.
