MUSHROOM AND RICOTTA PIZZA
This is based on a recipe I found in Fitness Magazine, June 2011. I made it tonight with a few modifications (detailed in recipe) and it was very tasty! We will be making this again. Didn't even miss the meat!

GLUTEN-FREE MUSHROOM AND RICOTTA PIZZA
For this vegetarian, gluten-free pizza (using our favorite potato-based dough), we used a couple of tricks: The cheese, garlic and red pepper flakes maximize flavor, and tossing the mushrooms with a little oil before baking gives them a boost while letting us cut down on fat.

Steps:
- Set a pizza stone or baking sheet on an oven rack in the bottom-third position and preheat to 500 degrees F. Divide the pizza dough into 2 balls. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and press each ball out into a thin 10-inch round. Put the baking sheet on the preheated stone and parbake until the dough just starts to brown on the bottom and edges, about 10 minutes for a softer crust or about 15 minutes for a crisper crust. Remove and let cool slightly.
- Combine the mozzarella, ricotta, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and crushed red pepper in a small bowl. Toss the mushrooms, olive oil, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in another small bowl.
- Dollop the cheese mixture evenly on the 2 pizza crusts and spread out, then divide the mushrooms between them. Bake the pizzas until the crust is golden brown and the cheese browns in some spots, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut each into 4 pieces and serve.
- Cover the potatoes with water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 25 minutes; remove. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and work the potatoes through a ricer set over a large bowl (should have about 2 cups). Set aside.
- Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
- Add the potatoes, rice flour, tapioca starch and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is combined and forms a fine, crumbly meal. Continuing to mix on medium, add the egg white and oil, slowly drizzle in the yeast mixture and mix until the dough comes together (it will be slightly tacky). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm place until the dough increases by half, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Form the dough into 2 or 4 balls, for small or medium pizzas, then either cook them as desired or wrap them well and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, then shape and cook.
Tips:
- For the Best Flavor, Use Fresh Mushrooms: The fresher the mushrooms, the better the flavor of your pizza will be. If possible, try to use wild mushrooms, as they have a more intense flavor than cultivated mushrooms.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pizza: When adding the toppings to your pizza, be sure not to overcrowd it. This will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook evenly.
- Use a Pizza Stone or Baking Sheet: For the best results, bake your pizza on a pizza stone or baking sheet. This will help the pizza cook evenly and give it a crispy crust.
- Don't Overcook the Pizza: Keep a close eye on the pizza while it's baking. Once the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown, it's done. Overcooking the pizza will make it dry and tough.
- Let the Pizza Cool Slightly Before Slicing: Once the pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the cheese set and make it easier to slice.
