Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp instant yeast, and 1 tsp salt. Slowly add 3/4 cup warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil, stirring to form a soft dough.
2. Step 2: Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups sliced wild mushrooms, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, and 1/2 tsp black pepper; sauté for 6 minutes until mushrooms are browned and fragrant.
4. Step 4: Preheat your wood-fired oven or a pizza stone in a 500°F oven.
5. Step 5: Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a floured surface. Transfer to a pizza peel or parchment paper.
6. Step 6: Evenly spread 1 cup shredded smoked mozzarella over the dough, then top with the sautéed mushroom mixture.
7. Step 7: Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or wood-fired surface and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is crisp and cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Step 8: Remove pizza from oven, let cool for 2 minutes, slice, and serve immediately.
