Ingredients

DOUGH

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour for the pizza base
  • 1 teaspoon salt for seasoning the dough
  • ¼ teaspoon instant yeast quick-acting yeast
  • ¾ cup water approximately adjust to form dough

TOPPINGS

  • 3 small yellow onions peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing onions and mushrooms
  • a pinch salt and pepper for seasoning
  • 8 oz button mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme for flavoring mushrooms
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella for topping
  • handful fresh parsley optional for garnish

SAUCE

  • 1 tablespoon butter for sautéing garlic
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 4 oz cream cheese for the creamy sauce
  • ½ cup milk for thinning the sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon salt for seasoning the sauce

Instructions

  • Combine flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl. Add water gradually until the mixture forms a dough ball. Loosely cover and rest for 12-18 hours at room temperature.
  • Slice the onions thinly. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, sauté onions for about 45 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes until golden and sweet.
  • While the onions cook, slice mushrooms. Remove onions from skillet and cook mushrooms with salt, pepper, and thyme for about 10 minutes, until moisture evaporates.
  • For the sauce, melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Then, whisk in cream cheese, milk, and salt until smooth and heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F, adjusting the rack to the highest position. Sprinkle flour on your dough and form it into a 10-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a non-stick pizza pan and stretch to the edges.
  • Spread the garlic sauce over the dough, then top with caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, and shredded mozzarella.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley after baking, if desired.
