Ingredients

• 1 pizza dough
• 10 oz mushrooms
• 4 cloves black garlic cloves
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 0.333 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.25 tsp kosher salt
• 0.125 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp dried oregano

Cooking instructions

1. Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 475°F. Let it heat for at least 30 minutes. (about 30 min) — 475°F
2. Slice the mushrooms. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add half of the olive oil, and sauté the mushrooms with the salt and pepper for 6 to 8 minutes, until browned and their moisture has evaporated. (about 8 min) — Medium-high
3. Mash the black garlic with the remaining olive oil and oregano until a spreadable paste forms. (about 2 min)
4. Stretch the dough into a 12-inch round on parchment. Spread the black garlic paste over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with the mozzarella, ricotta, and sautéed mushrooms. (about 3 min)
5. Transfer the pizza on the parchment to the heated surface. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is crisp and deeply golden and the cheese is bubbling. (about 12 min) — 475°F
6. Rest the pizza for 3 minutes, then slice and serve. (about 3 min)
