6. Crumble the goat cheese into a bowl, add the walnuts and lightly toss together.
7. Brush the dough with 2 teaspoons of the remaining olive oil, and top with the mushrooms.
8. Sprinkle on the thyme, and place in the oven.

12. Toss the arugula with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil, the balsamic vinegar and the walnut oil.
