Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms, such as white button or crimini, cleaned and sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 pound pizza dough, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups shredded fresh mozzarella
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Chopped fresh oregano, for garnish
- Chopped fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
- Place a large baking sheet, upside down, in the oven and preheat to 500°F.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook until light golden-brown and tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, press dough into a 10-inch circle. Transfer dough to parchment-paper-lined pizza peel.
- Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with cooked mushroom and cherry tomatoes and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
- Quickly slide pizza onto prepared baking sheet and bake until dough is golden-brown and cooked through and cheese is melted, about 10 to 13 minutes. Top with oregano and basil. Slice and serve.
Notes
You can use any store-bought pizza dough, which is available at many supermarkets, and also can be bought at a pizzeria. If you can find the super-convenient type that is rolled up in a tube on parchment paper in the dairy aisle, that saves you a bit of stretching and pulling, and that can be rolled out right on a baking sheet.
