Mushroom And Garlic Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• For the pizza dough:
• Mix the dried yeast & warm water in a cup, leave for 15 minutes until frothy.
• Prepare a bowl with the flour. Form a well in the center and add the yeast mixture. Mix, then add the 200ml water with the salt. Knead dough for 10 minutes. Form two balls, leave dough to rise in a container that has been brushed with olive oil. Leave dough to rise for at least 4 hours or leave overnight.
• Preheat oven to 220C. Knead the dough again for 5 mins, roll out thinly on a baking tray. Rub over lightly the garlic, then add the mozzarella, mushrooms, salt and pepper. Be generous with the mushrooms as they tend to shrink in the oven.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. During baking time, mix arugula and basil with olive oil in a bowl.
• Once pizza is ready and out of the oven, top on some of the arugula mix.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Spread the pizza dough out to cover a large baking sheet, then brush with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with the garlic. Bake for 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the shitake and white mushrooms. In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over high heat and sauté the mushrooms until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
• Sprinkle the baked dough with the Swiss cheese, then the mushrooms and the mozzarella. Sprinkle a little more salt over the topping and return the pizza to the oven. Bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
• Cut into squares and serve.

Steps:

• It is easiest to roast the garlic immediately before making this recipe. If you preroasted it, turn on your oven and preheat to 400°F.
• Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms, sherry and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms change color and are softer, but not significantly shrunken. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl, combine the roasted garlic, cream cheese and goat cheese together (preferably when the garlic is still warm to melt everything together). Resist the temptation to use a food processor; mix by hand to maintain the chunks of roasted garlic. Spread mixture on top of the pizza crust.
• Evenly distribute the mushrooms on top of the garlic-cheese spread.
• Bake 15 minutes. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put pizza stone in oven and heat to 425 degrees. While stone is heating, brush olive oil evenly over shell and bake 5 to 7 minutes or until oil bubbles. (If using thin crust pizza, you can eliminate pre-baking of the pizza crust.)
• While shell bakes begin cooking the mushrooms. Heat saute or fry pan on high heat, add the oil, garlic and shallots and quickly saute for approximately 30 seconds. Do not allow the garlic/shallot mixture to burn.
• Add mushrooms to hot pan, saute quickly until most of the mushroom juices have evaporated (3 to 5 minutes), then add wine. Continue to saute until wine completely evaporates and mushrooms have turned a darker shade or brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove mushroom mixture from heat.
• Remove shell from oven (leave stone in oven to keep it hot) and allow to cool slightly. Spread the gorgonzola cheese evenly over the warm crust so that it melts slightly. You can dip your fingers in olive oil to spread the gorgonzola. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the crust. Add the Fontina cheese, distributing it as evenly as possible. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Place on hot stone in oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly. Cool and cut into small rectangles for hors d'oeuvres or into pie-shaped pieces for first course or main course portions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• This recipe can be adjusted to suit personal taste such as adding dried, red hot pepper or use different cheeses; however you should not eliminate the gorgonzola. It can be served with champagne as an hors d'oeuvre and with dry red wine as an appetizer or main course with a tossed salad.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place pizza crust on baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, mix together olive oil and sesame oil. Brush onto pre-baked pizza crust, covering entire surface. Stack the spinach leaves, then cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch strips; scatter evenly over crust. Cover pizza with shredded mozzarella, and top with sliced mushrooms.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and edges are crisp.

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450˚ F. Whisk the vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt in a small bowl, then add the sliced red onion and submerge in the vinegar; set aside to pickle.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, 5 minutes. Stir and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp in spots and golden brown, 5 more minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add 1/3 cup barbecue sauce and 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the mushrooms are glazed, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Coat a baking sheet with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the pizza dough and stretch into an 11-by-13-inch oval. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce and spread using the back of a spoon, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with the gouda, then top with the mushrooms, then the Monterey Jack. Put the baking sheet directly on the hot pizza stone or inverted baking sheet. Bake until the crust is golden brown on the bottom and around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Slide the pizza onto a large cutting board. Drain the red onion and scatter over the pizza, along with the scallion and cilantro. Cut into pieces.

Steps:

• Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until golden, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels. Pour off drippings from skillet. Add oil and garlic to skillet. Cover and cook over low heat until garlic is golden, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add mushrooms and bell pepper; cover and cook over high heat until vegetables are tender, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 8 hours ahead; chill bacon and vegetables.)
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Place pizza crust on baking sheet. Sprinkle cheeses, then vegetable mixture and bacon over crust. Bake until cheeses melt, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Let stand 2 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.
