Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and grease a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil.

  3. Add 16 ounces of thinly sliced cremini mushrooms, ½ teaspoon of dried thyme, ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
  4. Dust a clean surface with yellow cornmeal, roll out the 1 pound of pizza dough into a 12-inch round shape about ¼ inch thick.

For best results, strain ricotta and pat mushrooms dry to prevent a soggy crust. Consider adding grated Parmesan on top before baking for extra flavor.
