Three Cheese Pizza
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 ounces exotic mushrooms, such as chanterelle, shiitake or wood ear, rinsed well, dried and thinly sliced
- 1 1/4 cups thin strips prosciutto (about 4 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons white truffle oil
- 6 ounces soft mild goat cheese such as Montrachet, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
- 6 ounces Fontina, grated (about 3/4 cup)
- 3 ounces thinly sliced Teleme cheese
- Heat 1 cup of water to 110 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the water, yeast, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and salt until the yeast is dissolved.
- Add 1 1/2 cups flour to the yeast mixture, mixing by hand until all the flour is incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Continue adding flour 1/4 cup at a time working the dough by hand after each addition until all the flour is incorporated, yet the dough remains slightly sticky.
- Lightly oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
- Place the dough in the oiled bowl and turn to coat with olive oil.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, non-drafty place.
- Allow the dough to rise until nearly double in size, about 1 hour.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and briefly work by hand, separating into 2 equal sized discs.
- Place the dough on a lightly greased sheet pan, cover with plastic wrap, and set in a warm, non-drafty place to rest for 15 minutes, or until ready to use.
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the mushrooms and saute just until their juice has evaporated, stirring from time to time, about 4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and cool.
- With your hands, gently stretch 1 dough disc to a 6-inch round.
- Place the dough round on a lightly greased baking sheet, and pat out to a 10 to 12-inch round, about 1/8-inch thick.
- Repeat with the remaining dough disc.
- Top each piece of dough with half of the mushrooms, half of the proscuitto, and 1 tablespoon of truffle oil.
- Sprinkle the cheeses over the mushrooms, and bake until the dough is brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 15 minutes, switching the pans between racks after 7 minutes.
- Serve immediately.
