Rustic Porcini Mushroom Pizza

Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses Quick Meals
The King of the Forest, the Porcini, stars in this elegant white pizza. Its meaty texture and nutty, earthy flavor are so intense they need little distraction—just a rich base like crème fraîche or mascarpone to highlight the aromas. Best in autumn with fresh mushrooms, but frozen works too.

Instructions

1 ✓

Make dough and rise. Prep mushrooms.

Tip: If using dried mushrooms, soak in hot water for 20 mins, then squeeze dry.
2 ✓

Slice cleaned Porcini. Sauté quickly in very hot oil with crushed garlic and thyme until golden.

Tip: Searing (Maillard reaction) brings out the flavor. Putting them raw on pizza makes it watery.
3 ✓

Stretch dough. Spread with crème fraîche, season with salt/pepper.

Tip: The tang of crème fraîche balances the earthy mushroom.
4 ✓

Top with mozzarella and seared mushrooms.

Tip: Don't overcrowd; let the crust breathe.
5 ✓

Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 mins. Sprinkle Parmesan at the end.

Tip: Parmesan acts as an umami bomb boosting mushroom flavor.
6 ✓

Garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

Tip: Thyme + Mushroom = Classic combo.

Recipe FAQ

Should I wash the mushrooms?
Never! Mushrooms are sponges. Clean with a brush or paper towel, otherwise they will steam, not sear.
