Instructions
1
✓
Clean and slice porcini. Sauté in a pan with little oil for a few minutes.
Tip: Mushrooms have high water content. Pre-sautéing concentrates flavor and prevents soggy pizza (water loss).
2
✓
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Tip: Hot oven is secret to crispy dough.
3
✓
Mix sour cream with crushed garlic, salt, pepper, spread on dough.
Tip: Garlic sour cream goes great with mushrooms.
4
✓
Distribute pre-sautéed mushrooms and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Tip: Keep mushrooms under cheese or half-exposed so they don't dry out completely.
5
✓
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: Smells tell the tale: if you smell roasted mushrooms, check the pizza.
6
✓
Sprinkle with parsley when serving.
Tip: Parsley green color brightens the brown-white pizza.
