Shiitake and Chanterelle Pizzas with Goat Cheese

This elegant vegetarian pizza celebrates the deep, earthy flavours of woodland mushrooms. By using a combination of fresh shiitake and chanterelles, you create a sophisticated topping that pairs beautifully with the tangy creaminess of soft goat’s cheese. The dough is prepared with a slow overnight prove in the fridge, which develops a superior depth of flavour and a perfectly crisp, chewy texture once baked against a hot heavy tray.

Ideal for a weekend dinner or a relaxed gathering with friends, these pizzas offer a luxurious alternative to standard takeaway options. The recipe makes enough dough for three bases, allowing you to keep one in the freezer for a quick future meal. Serve these golden, bubbling pizzas topped with fresh chives and a simple rocket salad for a complete, restaurant-quality experience at home.
