Why This Recipe Works

The secret to this pizza is precooking the portobellos to draw out their moisture, ensuring the crust stays crisp rather than soggy. Squeezing the spinach bone-dry is equally important for a perfectly textured finish.


Instructions

1

Adjust an oven rack to the lowest position, place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the rack, and heat the oven to 500Β°F.

2

Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced portobello mushrooms, cover, and cook until they are wilted and have released their liquid, about 5 minutes.

πŸ’‘ Covering the pan creates steam that softens the dense mushroom caps quickly.

3

Uncover the skillet and continue to cook until the liquid has evaporated and the mushrooms are dry and well-browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, then season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.

4

Divide the dough into two pieces and stretch each into a 12-inch round on a piece of parchment paper. Spread the pizza sauce thinly over each round, leaving a 1/2-inch border at the edges.

5

Distribute the spinach, mozzarella, goat cheese, Parmesan, and the mushroom mixture evenly over the two pizzas. The spinach should be scattered loosely so it heats through properly.

6

Slide the pizzas (with the parchment) onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is well-browned and the cheese is bubbly, 10 to 12 minutes.

7

Serve hot, while the goat cheese is soft and the crust is still crisp.
