STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet on the middle oven rack.

2

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 14-inch circle. Transfer it to parchment paper or a lightly dusted cookie sheet, cover with a kitchen towel, and let stand at room temperature.

3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook cremini and maitake mushrooms for 6-8 minutes until browned and tender. Stir in oregano, thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper, then transfer the mixture to a bowl.

4

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook spinach with ¼ teaspoon pepper for about 2 minutes until wilted. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

5

Combine ricotta, Pecorino Romano, garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon olive oil, spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the dough, and leave a 1-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella over ricotta, then layer with cooked mushrooms and spinach.

6

Carefully transfer the pizza on parchment paper to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

7

Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes after baking. Garnish with additional thyme, pepper, and Pecorino Romano shavings before serving.
