GRILLED MIXED MUSHROOM PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. In a large saute pan, cook the mushrooms in 3 tablespoons olive oil over high heat. Cook until the mushrooms are nice and golden. Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic and rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to burn. Cook another few minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.
• Meanwhile, prep each of the ingredients by placing them in a separate bowl, ready for quick access at the grill. Mix the parmesan and mozzarella in one small bowl and the marinara and wine in a second small bowl.
• On a lightly-floured surface, unfold the dough and cut it into quarters. Brush the top side of the dough with some of the remaining olive oil and flip onto the nonstick foil. Brush the second side with olive oil. With all the ingredients within hand's reach at the grill, slide the oiled crusts onto the grill and cook just until they begin to puff, 3 minutes. With 2 spatulas or tongs, carefully flip the crusts. Immediately spread the crusts with the marinara sauce, sprinkle with half the cheese, top with the cooked mushrooms, and the other half of the cheese. Close the lid of the grill and cook just until the cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the crust. Cook's Note: If you don't have a grill cover, use a large metal bowl or aluminum foil.
• Serve immediately.
• Special equipment: Nonstick aluminum foil.

MIXED MUSHROOM AND FONTINA PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the dough, place 1/4 cup of the warm water in a small bowl. Stir in the sugar until dissolved, then sprinkle the yeast onto the surface of the water. Let the yeast sit undisturbed for 1 minute, then stir it into the water until blended. Let the yeast "proof" for 10 minutes; it should become bubbly because of the presence of sugar. If it doesn=t bubble, it is outdated and inactive.
• Pour the yeast mixture into a large bowl. Mix in the remaining cup of water, the olive oil, and salt. Add the flour and semolina and stir with a wooden spoon until a ball of dough forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 minutes, flouring the work surface as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking.
• Lightly oil a large ceramic or glass bowl. Place the dough inside, then flip it over so the oiled side is on top. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place to rise until double in bulk, about 11 1/2 hours.
• Meanwhile make the topping. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown all over, about 20 minutes. Mix in the mushrooms and cook until they are brown and juicy, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and season the mushrooms with the thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. If you are using a pizza stone heat it at least 45 minutes before cooking the pizza on it.
• Punch down the dough and dump it onto your work surface. Divide it into 3. Lightly flour the work surface, then with a rolling pin, roll one portion of the dough into an 11inch circle. If you are using a pizza stone, then sprinkle some cornmeal onto a pizza peel and place the disk of dough on it; otherwise, lightly grease a baking sheet and place the dough on that.
• Spread 1/3 of the sour cream all over the dough. Sprinkle on 1/3 of the fontina cheese, then scatter 1/3 of the mushroom mixture all over the pizza. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown underneath. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

MIXED-MUSHROOM AND SCALLION PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Form dough (as directed in Basic Pizza Dough recipe) in a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese evenly over dough. Arrange scallions in an abstract pattern, as shown on page 88, pressing into dough, then press mushrooms into dough between shapes. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake until cooked through and crust is golden on edges and bottom, about 17 minutes.
• Using a metal spatula, slide pie onto a cutting board. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.

MUSHROOM PIZZA

Steps:

• For the pizza dough:
• Mix the dried yeast & warm water in a cup, leave for 15 minutes until frothy.
• Prepare a bowl with the flour. Form a well in the center and add the yeast mixture. Mix, then add the 200ml water with the salt. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Form two balls, leave dough to rise in a container that has been brushed with olive oil. Leave dough to rise for at least 4 hours or leave overnight.
• Preheat oven to 220C. Knead the dough again for 5 mins, roll out thinly on a baking tray. Rub over lightly the garlic, then add the mozzarella, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Be generous with the mushrooms as they tend to shrink in the oven.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. During baking time, mix arugula and basil with olive oil in a bowl.
• Once pizza is ready and out of the oven, top on some of the arugula mix.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in hot oil until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, leek, garlic, and salt; saute until tomatoes are soft, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle lemon juice over the vegetable mixture. Stir in basil; heat until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Arrange portobello mushroom caps onto the prepared baking sheet. Fill mushroom caps with onion mixture. Sprinkle Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mushrooms are heated through and the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese has melted, about 12 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

WILD-MUSHROOM PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees with rack in lowest position and a pizza stone on rack. Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until mushrooms are softened and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add cream; cook, stirring, until mostly absorbed, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and let cool.
• Gently stretch each piece of dough into a 6-by-16-inch rectangle, and place on parchment. Brush dough with oil, and spread with mushrooms, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Transfer pizzas on parchment onto pizza stone, and bake until crust is golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with tarragon, and cut into wedges.
