Mushroom Pizza: The Fancy Treatment | Recipe & How To

Mushroom Pizza: The Fancy Treatment | Recipe & How To

This is another all-timer for me. A simple mushroom pizza that feels super luxe but comes together really easily. This is one to bust out for date night even if that just means crushing a whole pizza to your dome. A mix of mushrooms sauteed with fresh thyme, garlic and shallot finished with a little sherry vinegar and soy sauce. This one feels fancy pants even if you aren’t wearing any.

For this bake in the Ooni Koda 16 I’m using the recipe in my homemade sourdough pizza dough recipe and how to. If you enjoyed please subscribe to the Santa Barbara Baker YouTube Channel and share with your pizza friends and fam. Thank you and much love to all that have! One Love!

Ingredients

Sauteed Mixed Mushrooms

  • 300-400 g Mixed Mushrooms Sliced. Any fresh variety will do. Button, cremini, shiitake, portobello, oyster, maitake, chantrelle, etc. Whatever interesting ones you can your hands on! Wild foraged even better.
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced.
  • 1 Small Shallot Diced.
  • 1 sprig Fresh Thyme Leaves only.
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter I use grassfed unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp Sherry Vinegar (approximate) A good dash.
  • 1 tsp Soy Sauce

Pizza

  • 1 cup Sauteed Mixed Mushrooms (from above)
  • 100 g Fresh Mozzarella (approximate)
  • 1/4 cup Fontina or other Semi-Soft Cheese Shredded. In the video I have some blue cheese in the mix to keep things funky.
  • 1 dough ball Pizza Dough A naturally fermented (sourdough) recipe and guide.

Instructions

Sauteed Mushrooms

  • Watch the video for the full how to!
  • Add oil to large pan over medium high heat.
  • Add mushrooms, do not overcrowd the pan.
  • Sauté till lightly browned.
  • Lower heat to low and add butter. Top with minced garlic, shallots, and thyme.
  • Cook briefly over low heat, you don't want the garlic to brown.
  • Add sherry vinegar and soy sauce. Scraping up any bits left on the pan.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Let cool briefly before topping pizza or store in a deli container.

Pizza

  • Watch the video for the full how to!
  • Preheat your Ooni Koda 16 for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza.
  • From the crust in begin adding mozzarella, breaking into chunks about the size of a large marble.
  • Sprinkle with shredded cheese blend.
  • Top with generously with the sauteed mixed mushrooms.
  • Bake in your Ooni pizza oven till fully baked and nicely colored (I aim for a 3-4 minute bake for a more crispy bottom) Watch the video for the real time bake!
  • Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Slice into 6 slices, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.

Notes

In the Mushroom Pizza: The Fancy Treatment Video I’m using the 14″ Pizza Peel from Ooni to load the pizzas and this 12″ Perforated Peel is currently being used as my turning peel. I always let my pizzas rest for a short while to ensure the crust doesn’t get soggy, they kick it on this half sheet pan rack set. I use this pizza cutter. I serve my pizza on this 14″ Wooden Pizza Peel.
