White Pizza with Mushrooms

Servings: 1 pizza

Ingredients

Olive oil sauce

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Toppings

  • 1 –2 cups mushrooms, sliced (I used a variety of shiitake and baby bella)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven per pizza dough recipe.
  • Make olive oil sauce by combining oil, shallots, garlic, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and sea salt in a small bowl.
  • Dry cook mushrooms in a skillet over medium-high heat to release all the water. Set aside.
  • After stretching/pressing prepared pizza dough on a piece of parchment cut to the same size, spread olive oil sauce onto the dough with the back of a spoon. Evenly distribute the mushrooms across the pizza dough, then drop small scoops of ricotta cheese onto the pizza, dispersed evenly. Top with shredded mozzarella and parmesan, and transfer the pizza with the parchment to the preheated pizza stone/steel/pan.
  • Bake for 8–12 minutes or until the dough is thoroughly cooked and the cheese is melty and golden brown. Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil.
