Funghi Misti, Fontina, Taleggio, and Thyme
- 1/4 pound jumbo white mushrooms, cleaned, stems trimmed, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, stems removed, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 3- to 4-ounce portobello mushroom, cleaned, stem removed, black feathery gills scraped out with a spoon and discarded, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 round of Nancys Pizza Dough (page 126)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 ounce fontina, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 ounce taleggio, cut or torn into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 ounce low-moisture mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- Wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano, for grating
- To prepare the mushrooms, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400F.
- Combine the mushroom slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat the mushrooms with the seasonings.
- Spread the mushrooms in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast them in the oven until they are golden brown and slightly wilted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Use the mushrooms or set aside to cool to room temperature, transfer to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to two days.
- To make the pizza, prepare and stretch the dough and preheat the oven according to the instructions given in Nancys Scuola di Pizza (page 128).
- Brush the rim of the dough with the olive oil and season the entire surface with salt.
- Scatter the mushrooms over the pizza, leaving a 1-inch rim without any topping.
- Scatter the fontina, taleggio, and mozzarella cheeses over the mushrooms, and then sprinkle with the thyme leaves.
- Slide the pizza in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown and crispy, 8 to 12 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and cut it into quarters.
- Use a microplane or another fine grater to grate a light layer of Parmigiano-Reggiano over the surface of the pizza, and serve.
