Mushroom Dashi Pizza is a unique fusion dish that combines the umami richness of Japanese dashi with the comforting flavors of pizza. Topped with a medley of mushrooms and fresh greens, this vegan delight is both satisfying and flavorful.

• Pizza dough - 200 grams
• Dashi broth - 200 ml
• Mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, or cremini) - 150 grams, sliced
