Ingredients

– 1 ball of pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
– 1/2 cup tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought)
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 cup assorted wild mushrooms (such as shiitake, oyster, cremini), sliced
– 4 slices of prosciutto
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh thyme leaves
– Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible, typically around 475-500°F (245-260°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.

2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.

6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, covering the entire pizza.

7. Arrange the cooked wild mushrooms over the cheese, distributing them evenly across the pizza.

8. Tear the slices of prosciutto into smaller pieces and scatter them over the pizza.

9. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pizza.

10. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the pizza for added flavor.

11. Carefully transfer the assembled pizza to the preheated oven, either directly onto the pizza stone or onto the oven rack.

12. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

13. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

14. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade Wild Mushroom and Crispy Prosciutto pizza!
