Yield: 6 people

Description

If you don’t have fresh thyme leaves, sub in a scant 1/2 teaspoon dried in the Seasoned Panko

Ingredients

Seasoned Panko

  • 1/2 cup panko
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme*, minced
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Make Homemade Pizza Crust and let it rise.
  • If you haven’t made Garlicky Tomato Sauce and Caramelized Onions, do it now.
  • Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 550 degrees. Drizzle mushrooms with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Set in preheating oven and roast until impressively brown, at about the time the oven is reaching temperature, 20 minutes or so.
  • While mushrooms roast, make Seasoned Panko by mixing panko, thyme, garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a small bowl.
  • When oven reaches temperature, bake pizza crust until golden brown, about 10 minutes. When crust emerges from the oven, spread with Garlicky Tomato Sauce, top with mushrooms, onions, Seasoned Panko, and pecorino.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 500 degrees and bake until topping are heated through and crust is crisp and brown, about 10 minutes. Slide pizza onto a cutting board, garnish with thyme, cut into squares, and serve.
