The spiciness of the Sriracha wine sauce is a nice compliment to the marinated shiitake mushrooms and garlic herb dough. It's been our most delicious pizza to date!
Ingredients
Mushroom Marinade
2 tbs of Soy Sauce
2 tbs of Rice Vinegar
1 tbs of Honey
1 tbs of Sherry Cooking Wine
Roasted Shiitake Mushroom Pizza
1 bag of Trader Joe's garlic herb dough
2 cups of shiitake mushrooms, sliced and marinaded
Place the olive oil in a medium-sized sauce pan over medium heat
Add in the sweet onion and cook for 1 minute
Add in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until the garlic begins to brown
Add in the Tomato Sauce and Paste
Add in Sriracha Sauce and the rest of the ingredients and cook until the sauce begins to bubble
Reduce to a simmer and cook for at least 20 minutes, the longer the better
Marinaded Shiitake Mushrooms
Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and add the mushrooms
Toss to coat the mushrooms with the marinade
Place in the fridge until needed
Roasted Shiitake Mushroom Pizza
Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees
While the sauce simmers, begins to toss your dough and form as closely as you can to a circle (this is harder then it seems!) and put the dough on a baking sheet
Roll over the edges to create a crust for the pizza
After the sauce has finished simmering take ½ cup of the sauce and spread it around the pizza
Place the sliced mozzarella as evenly apart as possible. As the pizza cooks, the mozzarella will melt and fill in the gaps
Take half of the 1000 day gouda and sprinkle it around the pizza
Take the mushrooms out of the fridge and grab the sliced shallots and and place them around the pizza. Cover with the rest of the cheese. Top with the fresh basil
Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the crust begins to turn golden
If desired, place some more fresh basil on top of the cooked pizza
Slice and enjoy!
Notes
The amount of pizza sauce in the recipe is enough for 4 pizzas. You can easily freeze the extra and save for future pizza endeavors!
While I call for 1 tbs of Sriracha Sauce in reality the sauce is not too spicy. To add more heat simply add more Sriracha. 2 Tbs would be a good starting point :)
I call for Shiitake mushrooms in this recipe but you can easily substitute either button or bells.
For cheeses we typically do one hard cheese and one soft cheese. Feel free to add more then two types!
