Homemade Mushroom Pizza
2013-03-08- Cuisine: Italian
- Course: Main Course
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 serving pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt to taste
Method:
Preheat grill. Preheat oven on broil.
In a non-stick pan, heat one teaspoon olive oil. Add the mushrooms and cook on a high flame for 4-5 minutes. Once all the moisture is gone, add the garlic and salt to taste. Keep aside. Spread pizza dough on a round perforated pizza pan. Spread one teaspoon olive oil. Pierce holes in the dough with a fork and place the pan on the grill. Cook the pizza for 5-7 minutes (depending on your grill). The bottom should be golden brown. Take out and add the marinara sauce, cheese and the mushrooms. Now place the pizza under the broiler in the oven. Cook for 7-9 minutes (again depending on the intensity of the broiler), making sure the cheese is melted and the top is golden brown. Slice and serve.

I love pizza, but I get scared of all the empty calories, especially from a white flour crust. I’d really like to make my own, so I know what’s in it and can use whole wheat. Do you happen to have one?? Or maybe know of a brand that’s actually healthy, not just label-savvy?
What would you think about making a pizza with cottage cheese instead of mozzarella?

I am going to make a homemade pizza and bought fresh spinach and fresh mushrooms. In the past, I have found fresh mushrooms to be extremely watery when you just put them on the pizza. How do you prepare them so they aren’t watery? Also, should you precook the spinach? If so, how?

I have button mushrooms, green pesto, mozzarella, onion, garlic, sundried tomatos, chedder cheese, tuna.
I’m not saying I want to use all these ingredients all together, but this is everything i have, but i deffinitely need to use up my mushrooms, mozzarella and pesto! I don’t want to make a pasta, i prefer to make some a bit light.
