Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
• 1.5 cups (roughly chopped) Wild mushrooms (such as shiitake, oyster, or chanterelles)
• 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cups (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

If using store-bought pizza dough, let it come to room temperature. If making your own dough, ensure it's proofed and ready for stretching.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced red onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the wild mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and their moisture has evaporated. Add the minced garlic and fresh sage leaves and cook for an additional minute, stirring to avoid burns. Season with salt and pepper, then remove the pan from the heat.

Step 5

Lightly dust your work surface with flour or cornmeal. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, ensuring it is evenly stretched.

Step 6

Carefully remove the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle it with a little cornmeal to prevent sticking. Transfer the prepared pizza dough onto it.

Step 7

Spread the caramelized red onions evenly over the dough. Next, scatter the sautéed mushrooms and sage-garlic mixture over the onions.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the toppings, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 10

Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 3 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve immediately while the cheese is melty and the flavors are fresh.
