Pizza con Funghi

Pizza con Funghi is a delightful vegan Italian pizza topped with a medley of sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and fresh herbs, making it both earthy and aromatic. This dish captures the essence of traditional Italian flavors while remaining entirely plant-based.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Mixed mushrooms (e.g., cremini, shiitake, oyster) - 200 grams, sliced
• Fresh basil - 10 grams, chopped
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Tomato sauce - 100 grams
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons (optional, for a cheesy flavor)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, typically about 0.5 cm thick.
3. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
4. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.
6. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the sauce.
8. Sprinkle nutritional yeast (if using) and chopped fresh basil over the mushrooms.
9. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
10. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, slice, and serve hot.
