Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates.
• 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 with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Assemble the Pizza
• Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
• Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out one portion into a round shape on a floured surface.
• Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Drizzle olive oil over the dough and spread it evenly.
• Arrange the sliced porcini mushrooms and taleggio cheese on top of the dough.
• Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper.
• Repeat the process with the second portion of dough or save it for later use.
• 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.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone in the oven before placing the rolled dough on it.
• Feel free to add other toppings such as caramelized onions or arugula for extra flavor.
