Instructions

Garlic Oil

  1. In a saute pan, mix the garlic, red pepper, olive oil, and dash of salt. Warm over low heat for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally and do not allow the garlic to brown. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.

Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 500. If using a pizza stone, preheat stone as well. (Ideally pizza stone should be preheated for an hour. This truly does make a difference.)
  2. Using the same pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until onion begins to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms, season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, another 4-5 minutes.
  3. Place dough on a lightly floured surface or parchment paper. Gently stretch and shape pizza dough to a 12″-14″ circle. Brush a layer of garlic oil over entire crust.
  4. To assemble, layer the mozzarella and fontina cheeses followed by the mushroom onion mixture.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
