Mushroom Pizza Recipe

The ultimate pizza for mushroom lovers! This incredible mushroom pizza is covered with mozzarella, then piled high with three kinds of herby sautéed mushrooms. Then, it's dotted with creamy ricotta cheese. It's the BEST combination!
Yield: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pizza dough 16 ounces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 tablespoon butter or another tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 cups white button mushrooms sliced, 8 ounces
  • 2 cups shiitake mushrooms halved, 4 ounces
  • 1 portobello mushroom gills removed, sliced into strips
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella 8 ounces
  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese 7 ounces

Instructions

  • If you're using refrigerated pizza dough, set it out to relax while you're preparing your toppings. Preheat the oven to 450°F (205°C).
  • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter (or another tablespoon of olive oil) to a large skillet set over medium heat. When hot, add the mushrooms, thyme, oregano, and a pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft, cooked down, and browned a bit on a side or two, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for another minute. Set aside.
  • Brush a large baking sheet with a tablespoon of olive oil (or, if you're using a pizza stone, no need to brush it). Stretch the pizza dough into an approximately 14-inch diameter round (but it doesn't have to be perfect!).
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the pizza crust. Spoon the mushrooms evenly over the top. Dot with spoonfuls of ricotta. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  • Bake until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden on the sides and bottom, about 15 minutes (but I suggest checking at about the 10 minute mark depending on the pizza crust you use and your heat source).
  • Remove from oven and top with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and/or fresh herbs if desired. Slice into wedges and serve.
