Let’s make it

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone or steel, heat it in the oven first.
  2. Heat butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chestnut mushrooms and cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned and lightly crispy.
  4. Add garlic, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.
  5. Stretch the pizza dough onto a pizza pan, stone, or baking sheet.
  6. Brush the dough lightly with the remaining olive oil.
  7. Spread small spoonfuls of ricotta across the pizza.
  8. Add mozzarella, parmesan, and the cooked chestnut mushrooms.
  9. Sprinkle with extra thyme and optional red pepper flakes.
  10. Bake for approximately 10–14 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  11. Finish with fresh thyme, parmesan, cracked black pepper, and an optional light drizzle of truffle oil.
