Mixed Mushroom And Fontina Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. In a large saute pan, cook the mushrooms in 3 tablespoons olive oil over high heat. Cook until the mushrooms are nice and golden. Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic and rosemary; season with salt and pepper. Be careful not to burn. Cook another few minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant.
• Meanwhile, prep each of the ingredients by placing them in a separate bowl, ready for quick access at the grill. Mix the parmesan and mozzarella in one small bowl and the marinara and wine in a second small bowl.
• On a lightly-floured surface, unfold the dough and cut it into quarters. Brush the top side of the dough with some of the remaining olive oil and flip onto the nonstick foil. Brush the second side with olive oil. With all the ingredients within hand's reach at the grill, slide the oiled crusts onto the grill and cook just until they begin to puff, 3 minutes. With 2 spatulas or tongs, carefully flip the crusts. Immediately spread the crusts with the marinara sauce, sprinkle with half the cheese, top with the cooked mushrooms, and the other half of the cheese. Close the lid of the grill and cook just until the cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the crust. Cook's Note: If you don't have a grill cover, use a large metal bowl or aluminum foil.
• Serve immediately.
• Special equipment: Nonstick aluminum foil.

Steps:

• Thirty to sixty minutes before ready to bake the pizzas, place a baking stone on a rack in the lowest level of the oven; turn on oven to maximum temperature, 500°.
• Wipe mushrooms clean with damp paper towel; discard stems of shiitake mushrooms; cut mushrooms into thin slices.
• In a big pan, heat the oil with the garlic over medium heat; add in the mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste; cook, stirring often.
• When the mushrooms liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are browned, add the parsley; let cool.
• Place pizza dough on a floured surface; Using your fingers, stretch and flatten dough out into a 12-inch circle.
• Dust a pizza peel with flour; place dough on the peel, shaking it once or twice to make sure it does not stick-if it does, lift the dough and dust the peel with more flour.
• Spread the cheese slices over the dough leaving a ½ inch border all around; top with the mushrooms.
• Slide pizza onto prepared baking stone; bake pizza 6-7 minutes or until the edges are puffed and the crust is crisp and golden brown.
• Remove pizza to a cutting board; cut into wedges and serve immediately.
