Ingredients
1 pizza dough martha stewart
8 oz shiitake or oyster
1 mushrooms
1 tbsp olive oil
1 salt and freshly ground
1 pepper
1 cornmeal for dusting
4 oz prosciutto
8 oz fontina cheese -- grated
Directions
Heat oven to 450#161#F. Heat a pizza stone in oven for at least 30
minutes, or preheat a large baking sheet for 15 minutes.
Heat grill until very hot. Meanwhile, trim stems from mushrooms. Place
mushrooms in bowl and sprinkle with oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well
to coat. Grill mushrooms until soft and juicy looking, about 2 to 3
minutes on each side. If you aren't using a grill, heat oil in a
medium skillet over medium-high heat and saute mushrooms until soft,
about 3 to 4 minutes.
Place discs of dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll out
or stretch into 1/4-inch-thick circles
7 inches in diameter.
Place one circle of dough on a wooden pizza peel that has been dusted
with cornmeal (or use a large spatula). Arrange a quarter of the
prosciutto, fontina and grilled mushrooms on top.
Slide dough onto hot pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until crust
is brown and cheese is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Cut pizza into six
pieces and serve immediately. Repeat process three times with
remaining dough, mushrooms, prosciutto and cheese.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to read the history of `recipes` back into the distant past, in fact as far into history as the early Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early cookbooks were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Later, there are some interesting books dating from the fourteenth century : a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, they are nothing to do with the curry that appears on menues today, but rather accounts of the types of food enjoyed by the rich and powerful of those days. By the arrival of the 1900s, cooking publications were in great demand, due to increased literacy, leisure time and having more money to spend. |
We hope you enjoy this Prosciutto~ Fontina & Mushroom Pizza recipe.
