An amazing white mushroom pizza recipe is a must have for any home pizza maker. Cooking the mushrooms before they ever hit the pizza intensifies the flavor and helps resolve the excess moisture issue. No soggy bottoms here. Cooked down with thyme, shallots and garlic these mushrooms are delicious for uses beyond pizza! For a white mushroom pizza I like a simple blend of cheeses. My go-to combo is fresh mozzarella and a semi-soft truffle cheese such as Sottocenere al Tartufo. Sliced shallots and fresh thyme help round of the flavor. Simple and flavor packed this is super satisfying pizza.

Pizza
Preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza.
Begin building the pizza with scattering a generous amount shredded truffle cheese followed by the cubed or hand torn fresh mozzarella. Top with shallots and fresh thyme leaves. Scatter the sautéed mixed mushrooms over the top of the pie. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
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).
Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Finish with fresh thyme leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Slice into 6 slices, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.
