Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough ball hand-tossed or thin crust
  • 1/2 cup garlic aioli sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup sliced button mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup sliced portobello mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tablespoon black truffle oil

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a perfectly crispy crust. While it's heating up, dust your pizza peel or a baking sheet with cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking.

Roll Out the Dough

  • Take your pizza dough and, on a floured surface, roll it out to your desired thickness. Mellow Mushroom typically offers a thin and crispy crust, but feel free to adjust it to your preference.

Assemble the Pizza

  • Spread a generous layer of tomato sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges of the crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Shiitake Sensation

  • Now, it's time for the star of the show—shiitake mushrooms. Slice them thinly and arrange them evenly across the pizza. Their savory, umami flavor will be a taste revelation.

Flavorful Finishes

  • Add minced garlic for a hint of spice and MontAmoré cheese for that extra creaminess. Thinly slice the red onion and distribute it evenly over the pizza.

Bake to Perfection

  • Carefully transfer your pizza to the preheated oven, either onto a pizza stone or directly onto the oven rack. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Fresh Garnishes

  • Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped fresh chives, sliced Roma tomatoes, and a pinch of black pepper on top. These fresh garnishes provide a delightful contrast to the warm, savory flavors beneath.

Slice and Savor

  • Finally, slice your Holy Shiitake pizza into generous portions and serve it to eager diners. Prepare to be lauded for your culinary prowess.
