Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pizza crust
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 cup mushrooms
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt pepper, and fresh parsley

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet/Pizza Stone
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 245°C.
  2. Sauté garlic and mushrooms in olive oil for 5–7 mins.
  3. Simmer cream in the same pan with half the mozzarella, all the Parmesan, and oregano until thick.
  4. Spread sauce on rolled-out dough; top with remaining mozzarella.
  5. Bake for 15–20 mins until golden and bubbling.
  6. Rest for 10 mins, garnish with parsley, and serve

Notes

1. Sauté the mushrooms thoroughly before adding to the pizza to prevent them from making the crust soggy. 2. Use heavy cream (not milk) to ensure the sauce thickens correctly and doesn't curdle in the high heat of the oven. 3. Resting the pizza for 10 minutes is essential for the cheese and cream sauce to set for clean, firm slices.
