Fancy Mushrooms for Pizza
This is another all-timer for me. A simple mushroom pizza topping 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.
Servings: 2 Pizzas
Ingredients
- 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 Small Shallot Diced.
- 1 sprig Fresh Thyme Leaves only.

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.
