walla walla sweet onion & chanterelle pizza
Not your everyday pizza. If you can't find chanterelles, use cremini or portabella mushrooms-cooked they are fairly close in flavor. This recipe will make one large pizza or 2 medium, my pan is 16 inches.

How To Make walla walla sweet onion & chanterelle pizza
-
Step 1Dough-in your food processor add yeast, sugar and warm water.
-
Step 2Let stand for 10 minutes.
-
Step 3Add 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, salt and 2 cups flour.
-
Step 4Pulse 5 or 6 times until well incorporated.
-
Step 5Add 1/2 cup of the remaining flour-pulse 5 or 6 times. Set remaining flour aside for rolling.
-
Step 6Turn dough out onto counter-knead about 10 times to form into a ball.
-
Step 7Place 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil into a large mixing bowl, add the dough ball, give it a good toss to cover dough with oil.
-
Step 8Cover bowl with a clean tea towel and set in a warm spot until doubled in size. This is going to take around 30 minutes.
-
Step 9While the dough is rising preheat oven to 450 degrees. You want it HOT.
-
Step 10In a large skilled over medium heat sauté onions for about 5 minutes, stirring often.
-
Step 11Add sliced mushrooms, sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring often.
-
Step 12Stir in thyme, remove from heat and set aside. Do not cover your onion/mushroom mixture-they will sweat to much if you do.
-
Step 13In a medium bowl squeeze out your roasted garlic and mash well with 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil. You want a paste that is still a little fluid so add EVOO until it's spreadable.
-
Step 14Flour your counter well.
-
Step 15At this point it's up to you. We like a thin crust so I roll my dough out onto the counter, punch it down, divide, and take 1/2 putting it into a oil lined freezer bag to use for another night. If you like a medium crust use the whole recipe.
-
Step 16Roll dough into a large circle, making sure to run a spatula under it from time to time so it doesn't stick to the counter.
-
Step 17Once you have your dough rolled out sprinkle pizza pan with cornmeal.
-
Step 18To transfer dough to your pan I find it easiest to simply roll the dough over the rolling pin, then unroll over the pan.
-
Step 19Tuck under any dough that's hanging over the rim of your pan.
-
Step 20Evenly spread your roasted garlic and olive oil blend over top of your dough.
-
Step 21Evenly spread your onion-mushroom mixture over the garlic spread.
-
Step 22Layer on the cheese, starting with the smoked provolone, then the mozzarella.
-
Step 23Bake for 15 minutes in your preheated oven. We like to broil ours for an additional 3 to 4 minutes so the top is nicely browned-up to you.
-
Step 24Remove from oven-let stand for 5 minutes, cut and serve.
