What's great about this wild mushroom pizza is you don't need to worry about finding the right toppings. Whatever wild mushrooms are in season or at your market will work beautifully. I like to get as many different ones as possible. -James Schend, Taste of Home Deputy Editor

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

Prick dough several times with a fork.
