Ingredients
  

  • 30 ml olive oil
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 450 g cremini mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in mushrooms, thyme and oregano. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-6 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Working on a surface that has been sprinkled with cornmeal, roll out the pizza into a 12-inch-diameter round. Transfer to prepared baking sheet or pizza pan.
  5. Top with mozzarella, dollops of ricotta and mushrooms.
  6. Place into oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
  7. Serve immediately.
