  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 500°F with a pizza stone inside for 45 minutes to replicate wood-fired conditions.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced cremini mushrooms and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté for 6-7 minutes until mushrooms release their moisture and become golden.

  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough, then evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms.
  6. Step 6: Carefully slide the pizza onto the heated stone and bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
  7. Step 7: Remove pizza from oven and tear 6 oz burrata cheese over the top.
  8. Step 8: Toss 1 cup fresh arugula with 1 tsp lemon juice and scatter over the pizza.
