Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is activated and foamy.
• In a separate large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Stir the mixture until it forms a shaggy dough. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Toppings
• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become tender. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
• Shape and Assemble the Pizza
• Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
• Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Spread the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the cheese.
• Sprinkle crumbled gorgonzola cheese and chopped fresh thyme on top.
• Bake the Pizza
• Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone in the oven and transfer the shaped dough onto the hot stone before adding the toppings.
• Feel free to add additional toppings such as caramelized onions or roasted garlic for extra flavor.

Information

• Gorgonzola cheese can be substituted with blue cheese if desired.
• This pizza pairs well with a side salad or a glass of red wine.
