PIZZA AL FORNO WITH MUSHROOMS, GORGONZOLA, AND RADICCHIO
This pizza could be named Umami Pizza because it features the earthy flavors of mushrooms and Gorgonzola cheese. The radicchio provides a slightly bitter flavor for contrast and adds color. Sautéing the mushrooms and garlic in the wood-fired oven adds an additional layer of flavor.

Steps:
- Prepare a very hot fire (650° to 700°F) in a wood-fired oven or cooker.
- In a cast-iron skillet or heat-resistant baking dish, heat the 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- In a medium-sized bowl, toss the radicchio with the balsamic vinegar.
- Flour a baking peel and shape each dough ball into a 10-inch round on the peel. Brush with olive oil, being careful not to get oil on the peel. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Leaving a 1/2-inch border of crust, top with the mushrooms, then the radicchio, thyme, and Gorgonzola. Drizzle with olive oil (including the edges) and sprinkle again with sea salt.
- Slide the pizzas off the peel and onto the oven floor. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, rotating once, or until golden on the edges and the cheese is melted. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.
