Our funghi pizza is a delightful culinary creation that combines the earthy richness of shiitake mushrooms with the gooey goodness of mozzarella cheese, all atop a crispy flatbread crust. This simple yet satisfying dish is perfect for busy weeknights when you crave something delicious but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. Let's dive into what makes our Funghi Pizza so special and explore the health benefits of shiitake mushrooms.
Shiitake mushrooms, the star ingredient of this pizza, are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients and health benefits. These flavorful fungi are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They contain compounds like lentinan and eritadenine, which are believed to have immune-boosting and cholesterol-lowering properties. Additionally, shiitake mushrooms are a good source of protein and fiber, making them a nutritious addition to any meal.
Ingredients
-
Flatbread or Pizza Dough
-
Tomato sauce
-
Shredded mozzarella cheese
-
8 oz. Baby Shiitake Mushrooms
-
Fresh basil (to garnish)
Directions
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible. This ensures a crispy crust and melty cheese.
If your flatbread is frozen, take it out of the freezer and let it thaw for a few minutes.
Spoon the desired amount of tomato sauce onto the flatbread, spreading it evenly to the edges.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Slice the shiitake mushrooms thinly lengthwise and arrange them on top of the cheese.
Once the oven is preheated, carefully transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone and place it in the oven.
Bake for approximately 7 minutes or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves on top for a burst of flavor and color.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade mushroom Pizza!
