Wild Mushroom White Pizza

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cups shitake mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 1- inch pieces fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 cup cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar
  • 1/4 cup shallot, rough chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • red pepper flakes, pinch
  • 1/2 cup parmesan, grated
  • 1 cup mozzarella, shredded

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 550 degrees.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium-sized skillet. Add the garlic cloves and ginger pieces to the pan once the butter is melted.
  • Place half of the mushrooms into the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes over medium heat. Push the softened mushrooms to the perimeter of the skillet. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the center of the skillet.
  • Add the remaining 3 cups of mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft, slightly browned and sticking to the bottom of the pan. Stir occasionally.
  • Deglaze the pan with the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat. Remove the ginger and garlic.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface and place on your preferred baking equipment.
  • In a food processor, puree cream, vinegar, shallots and red pepper flakes until the cream is thickened and slightly fluffy.
  • Top the dough with the white sauce and sautéed mushrooms, parmesan, mozzarella. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the dough and cheese are golden brown. Remove from the heat and let cool 5 minutes. Cut and serve immediately.
