  • Prep: 20 minutes
  • Cook: 35 minutes
  • Ready In: 55 minutes
  • Serves: 4
  • 1 pound store-bought pizza dough, at room temperature 
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided 
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms, sliced 
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • ¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided 
  • ½ cup whole-milk ricotta
  • 4 ounces (1 cup) shredded low-moisture mozzarella

Method

Preheat oven to 450ºF with rack in the lowest position. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, stretch out the dough to a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Bake until lightly golden, about 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high.

Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 12 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in parsley and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.

Stir together ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.

Spread over prebaked crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange mushroom mixture on top.

Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Cut into slices and serve.
