Sausage and Chanterelle Mushroom Pizza
This irresistible Sausage and Chanterelle Mushroom Pizza is an elevated version of the classic sausage/mushroom combo. It is popping with flavors from Italian sausage to browned chanterelles. The garlic oil makes the flavors stand out.
Servings: 1 pizza
Cost: $10
Equipment
- 1 Pizza Stone If using an indoor oven or grill.
Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons garlic oil (See notes)
- ¼ cup fresh mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup ground Italian sausage, cooked through and chopped into small bites
- 4 ounces chanterelle mushrooms, sliced down the middle and browned
- ¼ teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Makes: 12inch round
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven until the pizza stone is at the target temperature based on your cooking device.
- Build Pizza: Sprinkle flour onto a cutting board (we prefer semolina flour for this). Form the pizza dough into a round. Use a brush or large spoon to layer the garlic oil within 1″ of the rim. Then layer the mozzarella cheese, cooked sausage, and browned chanterelle mushrooms.
- Bake Pizza: Slide your pizza peel under the pizza and slide it onto the hot pizza stone. Rotate according to your pizza oven directions and cook until the dough is browned and the cheese is melted (about 2 minutes for a dedicated pizza oven and 10 minutes for a grill or traditional indoor kitchen oven).
- Finish: Remove and place on a cutting board and then sprinkle with fresh Parmesan and any optional toppings like Maldon salt or red chili flakes.
Notes
Garlic Oil: Peel two garlic cloves and mice them using a Microplane. Place in a small bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil and stir to combine. Use within three days.
Brown Mushrooms: Roughly chop them vertically along the stem. Then in a large skillet set to medium heat, add olive oil or butter. Add the mushrooms and cook for five to six minutes until browned and then flip them and continue browning the other side. Add a touch of kosher salt when finished. The mushrooms will reduce in size.
Brown Sausage: In a skillet set to medium heat, add some olive oil and the ground sausage. Continue to stir until it's all browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
Pizza Stone Targets:
- For Home Oven or Grill, target 500 - 550 degrees F for the temperature of the stone.
- For a Dedicated Pizza Oven, target 700 - 725 degrees F stone temperature.
