  5. Step 5: Scatter the sautéed mushrooms across the pizza, then top with 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves and optional 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes over the top.
  7. Step 7: Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  8. Step 8: Remove from oven and garnish with 6 fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
