Wild Mushroom And Sage Pizza
- 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, extra-virgin
- 8 cups mushrooms, shiitake sliced
- 2 cups onions sliced, 2 medium
- 1 x salt to taste
- 1 x black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- 1 x cornmeal for dusting pizza peel
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, non-fat 4 ounces
- 4 teaspoons sage chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried, rubbed
- 4 1/4 cups flour, all-purpose divided
- 2 each yeast, active dry Rapid-Rise, packaged
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, extra-virgin
- Heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add mushrooms and onions and saute until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Let cool.
- Place a pizza stone, baking tiles or an inverted baking sheet on the lowest rack of the oven; preheat to 500F or the highest oven setting.
- Divide dough into 8 pieces.
- Using your fists, stretch one piece into a 6-inch round.
- Alternatively, with a rolling pin, roll out on a lightly floured surface.
- (Keep remaining dough covered with a towel or plastic wrap.)
- Place on a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet, using enough cornmeal so that the dough slides easily.
- Stretch or roll a second round of dough and place beside the first.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons mozzarella over each round.
- Arrange 13 cup mushroom-onion mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon fresh sage (or a 18 teaspoon dried).
- Carefully slide the pizzas onto the heated pizza stone, baking tiles or baking sheet and bake until the bottoms are crisp and browned, 10 to 14 minutes.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings.
- Quick-Rising Pizza Dough:
- Stir together 3 cups flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Combine water and oil in a small saucepan.
- Heat until hot to the touch, 125 to 130F.
- Gradually stir the oil and water mixture into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon.
- Beat until well mixed.
- Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a firm, soft dough.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cover with plastic and let rest for 10 minutes.
- (Alternatively, in a food processor, combine 4 cups flour, yeast, salt and sugar.
- Heat 1 1/2 cups water and oil to 125 to 130F.
- With the motor running, gradually add the hot liquid.
- Process, adding up to 2 tablespoons cold water until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, cover with plastic and let rest for 10 minutes.)
