Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes 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 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 it 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 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced porcini mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes until they release their moisture. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh thyme.
• Shape and Bake the Pizza
• Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll out the dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter.
• Transfer the rolled-out dough to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Brush the surface of the dough with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
• Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.
• Arrange the sautéed porcini mushrooms on top of the cheese.
• Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and thyme mixture over the mushrooms.
• Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 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 rolled-out dough onto the hot stone before adding the toppings.
• Feel free to add other toppings such as caramelized onions, garlic, or fresh herbs to enhance the flavor of your porcini mushroom pizza.

Information
