Pasta/Pizza - Mushroom, caramelized onion and Brie pizza by Lioara E. - Recipia

Mushroom, caramelized onion and Brie pizza has golden edges, mushrooms with balsamic and soft cheese in the middle. I roll the dough into circles, leaving the edges a little thicker.

Ingredients

For the dough

  • 20 g fresh yeast
  • 500 g flour
  • 250 ml warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the caramelized onion

  • 2 large onions (300 g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the mushrooms

  • 400 g fresh mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

For shaping and topping

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 200 g Brie
  • 5 g rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation

1. Crumble the fresh yeast onto a plate, add 1 teaspoon of salt and stir with a fork until it becomes liquid. 2. Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the middle. Add the yeast, warm water, sugar and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then mix until you have a smooth dough. 3. Knead the dough for 10 minutes on a floured surface. Return it to the bowl, cover with a damp towel and leave it somewhere warm for about 1 hour, until doubled in size. 4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over low heat. Slice the onions julienne-style and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously, until dark brown and soft. 5. In another pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the sliced mushrooms. Leave them for 5-7 minutes without stirring, until browned underneath. Turn them over, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated and the edges are slightly crisp. 6. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the mushrooms caramelize. Add the minced garlic and cook for 10 seconds, then pour in the balsamic vinegar and stir for 1-2 minutes, until it coats the mushrooms. 7. Press down on the dough to release the air, coat your hands with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and shape it into circles of your preferred size. Add the onion, mushrooms and Brie cut into pieces, scatter over the rosemary leaves and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. 8. Bake at 200°C for 7-9 minutes, until the edges are golden and the Brie softens.

Notes

Store any leftover slices in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a pan so the base doesn’t go soft. A green salad with a simple dressing goes well alongside. You can replace the Brie with the same amount of Camembert, which melts in the same way; the dough contains gluten, and the cheese and butter contain dairy. Brown mushrooms have a stronger flavor, and white mushrooms work just as well, though thick slices need a little longer in the pan. If the onions start browning too quickly, lower the heat and keep stirring. Heating a baking tray in the oven before baking helps the base brown underneath.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use dried yeast?

Yes, replace the 20 g fresh yeast with 7 g instant dried yeast and mix it directly with the flour.

Should I remove the Brie rind?

No, you can leave the rind on. Cut the cheese into pieces about 1 cm across so it softens along with the crust.

Why does the dough spring back when I roll it out?

Cover it and let it rest for 10 minutes before trying again.

What should I do if the topping slides off the slice?

Leave a border of about 2 cm without onion or mushrooms so the slices hold together better.
