Time 50m

Yield Makes two 6-by-16-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots (about 2 medium shallots)
1 1/2 pounds mixed wild mushrooms, coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 pound pizza dough, divided in half
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees with rack in lowest position and a pizza stone on rack. Melt butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until mushrooms are softened and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until absorbed, about 1 minute. Add cream; cook, stirring, until mostly absorbed, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and let cool.
  • Gently stretch each piece of dough into a 6-by-16-inch rectangle, and place on parchment. Brush dough with oil, and spread with mushrooms, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Transfer pizzas on parchment onto pizza stone, and bake until crust is golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with tarragon, and cut into wedges.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms are more flavorful and have a better texture than dried or canned mushrooms.
  • Choose Local Mushrooms: If possible, choose mushrooms that are local to your area. This will help you get the freshest and most flavorful mushrooms.
  • Clean Mushrooms Properly: Mushrooms are often dirty and can contain harmful bacteria. Be sure to clean them thoroughly before using them.
  • Cook Mushrooms Thoroughly: Mushrooms should be cooked thoroughly to kill any harmful bacteria and to bring out their full flavor.
  • Use a Variety of Mushrooms: Different types of mushrooms have different flavors and textures. Using a variety of mushrooms in your pizza will add depth and complexity to the flavor.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pizza: When adding toppings to your pizza, be sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent the pizza from cooking evenly and will make it soggy.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in a pizza. Be sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Cook the Pizza at a High Temperature: Pizza should be cooked at a high temperature to get a crispy crust. The ideal temperature for cooking pizza is between 450°F and 500°F.

Conclusion:

Wild mushroom crab pizza is a delicious and unique pizza that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a wild mushroom crab pizza that is sure to impress your friends and family.
