Mushroom And Onion Flatbread Pizza Recipes

FLATBREAD PIZZA WITH BEEF, MUSHROOM, AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 550° F or as high as your oven will go.
• Over medium low heat, caramelize the onions in the butter until soft and golden brown.
• Using tongs, remove the onion to a paper towel-lined, leaving as much butter behind in the pan as possible.
• Add the mushrooms to the hot pan and brown.
• Then add the thyme to the mushrooms and stir to heat.
• Turn off the flame and begin assembling the flatbread pizzas on a section of parchment paper.
• Brush olive oil over the tops of the flatbread pieces, being careful to reach to the edges.
• Spread half of the diced garlic over each, distributing evenly.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella over each.
• Then layer the onion and mushrooms.
• Drop half slices of the roast beef in small piles.
• Sprinkle some more mozzarella lightly over the roast beef.
• Lift the parchment paper with the assembled flatbread pizzas onto a cookie sheet.
• Place on the middle rack of the pre-heated oven.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and begins to turn golden brown, and the bread edges are becoming crispy, about 2-3 minutes
• Remove from the oven and place on a cutting board.
• Rest for about 3-5 minutes, then slice and serve.

TOMATO ONION FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• If using uncooked dough, roll the dough out 1/4-inch thin. Sprinkle with a small amount of salt and pepper and transfer to a baking screen. Precook the dough until crispy, 12 minutes.
• To build the pizza, drizzle the crust with the oil. Next, arrange the tomatoes to cover the dough, followed by the onions and cheese.
• Bake on the screen on the center rack until the cheese melts, 6 to 7 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.

MUSHROOM AND ONION FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Toss vegetables with thyme, garlic and 1 Tbsp. oil; spread onto rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 min.
• Brush bread with remaining oil; top with vegetables and cheese. Place directly on oven rack.
• Bake 10 min. or until edge of crust is golden brown.

MULTI-MUSHROOM FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Dissolve salt, sugar, and yeast in the warm water and allow the yeast to proof. Proofing takes about 15 minutes. Place flour in a food processor fitted with a dough blade, and through the feed tube with the food processor running, slowly pour in the proofed yeast mixture, until the dough comes together and is a cohesive mass.
• Transfer the dough to a floured board, and knead for about 5 minutes. Place in a bowl, cover with a clean dish towel and allow dough to rise, so that it roughly doubles in volume. (This will take about 30 minutes to 1 hour). The dough has risen enough if you make an indentation with your finger and it does not spring back.) Punch the dough down and divide into 6 equally sized balls. Cover with towel and allow it to rise again. (Allowing the dough to rise a second time gives it a finer texture.) Note: It will not rise as much the second time.
• While the dough is rising, prepare the "base" pizza topping. Heat the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and saute shallots and thyme until the onion begins to turn translucent. (If you are using dried mushrooms, remove them from their soaking liquid, lifting them out so all grit remains at the bottom.) Add the porcini to the pan, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until tender. Remove from heat, stir in heavy cream, and scoop into a food processor. Pulse to chop and set aside to rest. This is your base topping
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On a floured surface, stretch the dough into 6 (6 by 8-inch) ovals and shake cornmeal over both sides of the dough. (The crust will be par-baked on both sides on the stovetop before you add the topping to be baked.) In a heavy bottomed 12-inch skillet which has a lid, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. (Swirl the oil to coat the entire inside of the skillet.) Transfer each dough oval to the skillet, allowing 1 side to lightly cook and stiffen up before flipping it over with tongs. When both sides of each oval are par-baked this way, transfer to a pizza stone. Spoon the base topping into the center of the now toasted crusts, spreading evenly over the surface.
• For the finishing topping, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan and cook the porcini, cremini, shiitake, garlic and thyme until tender. Spread evenly over the base topping and lay fresh mozzarella slices over.
• Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes until cheese melts and edges of crust are golden.

APPLE, HONEY & CARAMELIZED ONION FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• First, the long part requiring patience: make the caramelized onions for your pizza. Heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly. Cook over medium until the onions become translucent. Then turn down the heat and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until golden and irresistibly fragrant. Remove from heat. That was the hard part!
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
• Assemble your pizza: spray your your pan/stone lightly with cooking oil, then sprinkle it scantly with the cornmeal. Spread your prepared pizza dough over this in a circle (or awkward oval like mine). Top this with your caramelized onions. Next arrange the apple slices--I did a mix of finely sliced "honey crisp" and "granny smith" apple, using just a bit less than one apple total. Top the apple layer with the cheeses: first the brie, then just a bit of mozzarella, then the parmesan. Drizzle the pizza lightly with a good honey. Then sprinkle artistically with parsley because you've now committed to this strange pizza.
• Cook this in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is slightly crisp and the cheeses begin to turn golden-brown. Enjoy!
• Tip: a sprinkle of crushed red peppers or drizzle of extra honey and sriracha never hurts!
