Which ingredients do you need?
- 20 g dried morel mushrooms
- 100 ml warm water (for soaking mushrooms)
- 1 pre-made pizza dough or base
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 100 g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 50 g fontina cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh thyme leaves, to taste
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: A drizzle of truffle oil for serving
How do you make this dish?
- Soak the dried morel mushrooms in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the soaking liquid, and gently pat the mushrooms dry with a paper towel. Slice the larger mushrooms in half.
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil with minced garlic. Brush this mixture evenly over the pizza dough.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and fontina cheese evenly over the base. Arrange the morel mushrooms and red onion slices on top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a few fresh thyme leaves.
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. For an extra touch of luxury, drizzle with truffle oil before serving.
TIP This pizza pairs wonderfully with a glass of crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, to complement the earthy richness of the morels.
