We love pizza – it may even be our favourite food. But only if the dough is homemade. You can top this pizza to suit your taste and the season. Tomatoes and mozzarella would be the classic choice, however this surprising topping with caramelized onions and mushrooms is a new favourite.

How it's done

Pizza dough

Mix the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the yeast and water, mix well with a wooden spoon, do not knead. Cover the dough and leave to rise in the fridge for at least 12 hrs.

Portion the dough

Place the pizza dough on a well-floured board. Quarter the dough, shape carefully into balls, do not knead the dough. Cover the dough and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 2 hrs.

Topping

Heat the butter in a pan. Add the sugar, caramelize for approx. 5 mins. Add the mushrooms, onions and thyme, cook for approx. 10 mins., stirring occasionally, season.

Pizzas

Dust the portions of dough with flour, stretch the dough into circles by placing it over your fists and carefully stretching it to the right size. Try not to touch the edges of the dough. Place each pizza on a sheet of floured baking paper, carefully stretch into shape once more, cover with the mascarpone.

Bake

Slide each sheet of baking paper onto a tray, bake for approx. 20 mins. on the bottom shelf of an oven preheated to 240 °C. Remove, cover with ¼ of the topping, a little mascarpone, thyme and honey. Bake and top the remaining pizzas in exactly the same way.
