Ingredients

• 1 12-inch ball Whole wheat pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup White button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Low sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1 small Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves, torn
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to a 12-inch diameter. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced shiitake, cremini, and white button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender.

Step 5

Remove the cooked mushrooms from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the sliced red onion. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. If needed, add a splash of water to help the onions soften without sticking.

Step 7

Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough.

Step 8

Scatter the mushroom mixture evenly over the caramelized onions.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese over the top.

Step 10

Transfer the pizza with the parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, torn basil leaves, and a light sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Step 12

Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza for a touch of sweetness.

Step 13

Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium gourmet mushroom pizza slice.
