Mushroom Pizza (The Best)
Mushrooms on a pizza are always good. But with a creamy sauce, finely sliced shallots and perfectly cooked, it’s even better! We’ve brought together all these elements and more to develop an exceptional mushroom pizza.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups (375 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups (310 ml) warm water
- 7 g dried bolete or porcini mushrooms (optional)
- 1 lb (450 g) white mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup (60 ml) dry white wine
- ⅔ cup (150 ml) crème fraîche (see note)
- 2 tbsp fresh Parmesan cheese, finely grated, plus more for serving
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 ball (100 g) buffalo mozzarella, drained and torn into pieces
Instructions
- In a large bowl with a wooden spoon, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Add the water and mix just until the dough forms into a soft ball. On a floured work surface, knead the dough with your hands for 5 minutes, just until smooth. Add more flour as needed.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, humid spot for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in volume.
- On a lightly floured work surface, cut the dough into 2 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place in a large airtight container or on a lightly floured baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap (see note). Let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume.
