Pizza with Parsley Pesto, Cremini Mushrooms, Fontina and Goat Cheese

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  2. For the parsley pesto: Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano, pine nuts, basil, garlic, parsley and some salt and pepper to a food processor.
  3. With the motor running, slowly add about 1/2 cup olive oil and process until smooth.
  4. Pulse a few times to incorporate, adding more oil if the mixture is too thick.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  6. For the mushrooms: Heat the canola oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until almost smoking.
  7. Add the mushrooms, garlic and shallots and saute until brown, about 5 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper.
  9. Remove to a plate and reserve.
  10. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  11. For the pizzas: Portion the dough into six golf-ball-size pieces.
  12. Dust a work surface with flour and roll each piece of dough into a rectangle (or whatever shape you like).
  13. Brush the tops of each piece with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss on the grill, oil-side down.
  14. Cook until the bottoms are an even golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  15. (The tops will also start bubbling up with air pockets.)
  16. Flip over and grill until golden brown on the other side and just firm, about a minute or so.
  17. Remove to a baking sheet.
  18. Top the pizzas with the fontina, mushrooms, Parmigiano-Reggiano, dollops of goat cheese, crushed red pepper flakes and salt and pepper.
  19. Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
  20. Top with the parsley pesto and garnish with a few more torn basil leaves.
