Wild Mushroom Pizza

Contributed by: Melinda

If you don't like the garlic sauce, you could use the basic red sauce recipe.

What you need

  1. 1 recipe whole grain pizza dough or basic pizza dough (enough for two 12 inch thin crust pizzas)
  2. 1 recipe Garlic Pizza Sauce
  3. 1 oz. dried porcini mushrooms, reconstituted in water then chopped (reserve soaking liquid for another use)
  4. 4 oz. fresh shitake mushrooms, very thinly sliced
  5. 8 oz. fresh crimini mushrooms, chopped
  6. 8 deli round slices provolone cheese
  7. 3-4 Tablespoons whole fresh oregano leaves
  8. Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  9. Grated parmesan cheese
  10. Olive oil
  11. coarse corn meal

How to make it

  1. Preheat oven to 450º with the stone inside (the stone needs to be heated with the oven)
  2. Divide all ingredients in half
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out to a very thin circle (rough is good, it looks more rustic) about 9-12 inches
  4. Lift dough and place on top of pizza peel that is liberally spread with coarse cornmeal and adjust shape
  5. Spoon garlic sauce over the surface of the dough right to the edges
  6. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes to taste
  7. Lay 4 provolone slices over the dough
  8. Sprinkle oregano leaves over cheese
  9. Add porcini, crimini and shitake
  10. Top with grated cheese and drizzle with olive oil
  11. Using the peel, with a swift motion, place pizza in the center of a baking stone
  12. Cook pizza for about 15-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and cheese is bubbly
  13. Repeat with remaining dough and toppings
