Mushroom and Garlic Pizza

From the April/May 2006 issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine. This is such a simple pizza. I do think that the buttery flavor of the Pillsbury crust really compliments the combo of swiss, mushrooms, and garlic. I don't think that a standard pizza crust would blend as well with these topping, but that is just my opinion. LOL

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 14  ounces  refrigerated  prepared pizza crust (I used Pillsbury)
• 3  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 3  garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 5  ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded
• 8  ounces white mushrooms
•  salt
• 2  cups swiss cheese, shredded
• 2  cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F Spread the pizza dough out to cover a large baking sheet, then brush with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with the garlic. Bake for 8 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, thinly slice the shitake and white mushrooms. In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over high heat and sauté the mushrooms until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
3. Sprinkle the baked dough with the Swiss cheese, then the mushrooms and the mozzarella. Sprinkle a little more salt over the topping and return the pizza to the oven. Bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
4. Cut into squares and serve.
