EXOTIC MUSHROOM PIZZA
Steps:
- Put pizza stone in oven and heat to 425 degrees. While stone is heating, brush olive oil evenly over shell and bake 5 to 7 minutes or until oil bubbles. (If using thin crust pizza, you can eliminate pre-baking of the pizza crust.)
- While shell bakes begin cooking the mushrooms. Heat saute or fry pan on high heat, add the oil, garlic and shallots and quickly saute for approximately 30 seconds. Do not allow the garlic/shallot mixture to burn.
- Add mushrooms to hot pan, saute quickly until most of the mushroom juices have evaporated (3 to 5 minutes), then add wine. Continue to saute until wine completely evaporates and mushrooms have turned a darker shade or brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove mushroom mixture from heat.
- Remove shell from oven (leave stone in oven to keep it hot) and allow to cool slightly. Spread the gorgonzola cheese evenly over the warm crust so that it melts slightly. You can dip your fingers in olive oil to spread the gorgonzola. Spread the mushroom mixture evenly over the crust. Add the Fontina cheese, distributing it as evenly as possible. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Place on hot stone in oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly. Cool and cut into small rectangles for hors d'oeuvres or into pie-shaped pieces for first course or main course portions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- This recipe can be adjusted to suit personal taste such as adding dried, red hot pepper or use different cheeses; however you should not eliminate the gorgonzola. It can be served with champagne as an hors d'oeuvre and with dry red wine as an appetizer or main course with a tossed salad.
KATE L'S TIPSY MUSHROOM PEPPERONI PIZZA
This is my signature pizza creation, set apart from your ordinary pepperoni and mushroom pizza by the fennel seeds and Recipe #323900 #323900. I first read about fennel seeds when DH was given a spice set; fennel is supposed to aid the digestion of fatty things such as pepperoni and reduce GERD. We enjoy the slight anise-flavored crunch taste sensation, and DH's picky-eater son has embraced fennel seeds as well. Portabello mushrooms benefit from some precooking before loading as toppings; to avoid adding even more fat to my cheesy pizza, I began "sauteeing" my mushrooms in dry sherry in the microwave, as in Recipe #323900 #323900. In a pinch, I use drained canned mushroom slices, but that hint of sherry flavor of the Tipsy Mushrooms really sets off my signature pizza. I use half mozzarella and half Sargent's shredded 6-cheese Italian blend for my ultimate pizza, but you can use whatever mix of cheeses you prefer. We strongly prefer Margarita sliced pepperoni over Hormel's. DH and I always loved Boboli pizza crust and Boboli pizza sauce; if you want even bolder "manly" taste, I recommend using 2Bleu's Recipe #265466 #265466 and Recipe #255242 #255242. Cheese lovers will want to increase the amount of cheese, I gave the standard amount.

Steps:
- If making own pizza crust and/or pizza sauce, prepare them first.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, or follow directions for pizza cooker.
- Spread pizza sauce over browned side of Boboli crust.
- Sprinkle fennel seeds over pizza. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over pizza, followed by special gourmet-blend cheese.
- Lay out 12 slices of pepperoni around the outer edge of the pizza, then distribute the 6 remaining slices on an inner circle. Voila, you have marked your pizza for 6 slices!
- Prepare Tipsy Fat-Free Microwave -Sauteed Mushrooms (Recipe#323900), in which 2 cups of sliced mushrooms are cooked in 1/2 cup dry sherry for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes in the microwave, and then drained. (We love Portabello mushrooms on our pizza and the slight hint of sherry drives us wild. For a pantry-raid pizza, drained canned sliced mushrooms will do in a pinch, although it's not as good.).
- Distribute sauteed mushrooms over top of pizza. I try to be artistic.
- Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, or until cheese starts to brown. (If using directions from Recipe#255466 #255466, I found that 10 minutes at 500 degrees was a bit too long.).
- Cut into 6 slices and serve hot.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh mushrooms. If you don't have fresh mushrooms, you can use frozen or canned mushrooms, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Be sure to slice the mushrooms thinly so that they cook evenly.
- If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead.
- If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley.
- Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the pizza.
- Watch the pizza closely while it's baking to make sure that it doesn't burn.

This Tipsy Mushroom Pepperoni Pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of mushrooms, pepperoni, and cheese is a classic, and the white wine adds a touch of elegance. This pizza is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
