Ingredients

• 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 200 grams (sliced thinly) Cremini mushrooms
• 3 cloves (thinly sliced) Garlic
• 150 grams (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 50 grams (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 50 grams (roughly chopped) Walnuts
• 1 teaspoon (chopped, plus extra for garnish) Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (for rolling out the dough) All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface, then roll out the pizza dough into a roughly 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and golden. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and some black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Brush the rolled-out pizza dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of crust around the edges.

Step 5

Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the mozzarella cheese. Add the thinly sliced garlic, chopped walnuts, and grated Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 6

Sprinkle the chopped thyme over the pizza for added flavor.

Step 7

Using the parchment paper for support, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 8

Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.

Step 10

Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your Pizza with Mushrooms, Garlic, and Walnuts!
