White Pizza with Porcini Mushrooms

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
The biggest enemy of mushroom pizza is water. Mushrooms release moisture during baking, which can make the crust soggy. The solution is pre-sautéing: this evaporates the liquid and concentrates the earthy flavors (Maillard reaction), ensuring only pure mushroom essence makes it onto the pizza.

Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare dough: Bloom yeast, knead with flour, salt, and oil. Let rise for 1 hour.

Tip: Add salt at the end of mixing or mix into flour first, as direct contact can inhibit the yeast.
2 ✓

Clean mushrooms (don't wash, just wipe) and slice. Sauté in oil until browned and dry. Add crushed garlic and thyme at the very end.

Tip: If you salt mushrooms early, they steam. Salt them at the end to help them brown.
3 ✓

Stretch the dough. Spread a thin layer of crème fraîche over it.

Tip: The creamy fat provides a rich base that complements the earthy mushrooms.
4 ✓

Scatter the cheese and the sautéed mushrooms on top.

Tip: Place cheese under the mushrooms to act as a 'glue'.
5 ✓

Bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tip: Fresh parsley cuts through the richness of the cheese and mushrooms.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use dried porcini?
Yes! Soak them in warm water for 20 minutes, squeeze dry, and sauté. The flavor will be even more intense.
Why use sour cream/crème fraîche?
A white base (pizza bianca) lets the delicate porcini flavor shine better than acidic tomato sauce.
