Ingredients
  

For the Mushroom Mixture
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups wild mushrooms, roughly torn
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
  • crushed red pepper flakes to taste
For the Pizza Base
  • 1/2 pound pizza dough, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup basil pesto
  • 1 medium potato, very thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh chopped rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • 1 cup shredded fontina or Havarti cheese
  • 8 ounces burrata cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon micro basil or basil leaves

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine the olive oil, mushrooms, thyme, garlic, and a pinch each of salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until the edges begin to crisp. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  3. Meanwhile, grease a large baking sheet with olive oil. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 10-12 inch circle. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spread the dough with pesto and top evenly with sliced potatoes, rosemary, and lemon zest. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Baking
  1. Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove from the oven and top with fontina cheese and roasted mushrooms. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  3. Remove the pizza from the oven and top with burrata. Let the burrata sit on the pizza and warm through for about 5 minutes.
  4. Finally, top with basil and enjoy!

Notes

For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza dough for a few minutes before adding toppings. Try adding herbs like oregano or sage for enhanced flavor. If burrata is unavailable, use fresh mozzarella cheese instead.
