More pizza recipes
If you’re a pizza lover like we are, here are a few more pizza recipes you’ll love: Our spin on that mushroom pizza is a white pizza (meaning no tomato sauce) topped with gooey mozzarella cheese, tangy goat cheese dollops, savory sauteed mushrooms, and a handful of fresh herbs. It truly is the best mushroom pizza we’ve had: and we can’t wait to share the recipe with you.
Use fresh mushrooms. We typically use whatever our local grocery has in stock, or stock up at our farmers market. This mushroom pizza has a mix of baby bella mushrooms (aka cremini) and shiitake mushrooms. But feel free to try swapping in oyster mushrooms, sliced portobello mushrooms, or white button mushrooms. Avoid canned. Those slimy shrooms in a can are not recommended on pizza: stick to fresh sauteed mushrooms. Avoid raw mushrooms on pizza. When put into a hot oven, mushrooms dry out and become shriveled in the high heat. To eat mushrooms on pizza, always sauté them first.
Mushroom pizza is great with or without tomato sauce. Traditionally, an Italian white pizza is anything without tomato sauce: we start ours by brushing the crust with olive oil. Then add the cheese and toppings! You can add pizza sauce if you prefer. Sauté the mushrooms with herbs and lemon juice. Sautéing makes sure the mushrooms are juicy and seasoned. This one adds some chopped fresh herbs and a little lemon juice for next-level flavor. Add goat cheese for creaminess. Dollops of goat cheese are required, in our opinion: they add a creamy texture and a tangy pop to the flavor.
We love to grow our own fresh herbs: we find one of the most satisfying things is to run out to the garden and harvest a few! You don’t even need garden space: you can just grow herbs in pots as long as you have a sunny ledge. For all of our tips on fresh herbs, see this post on How to Grow Herbs.
