INGREDIENTS- Extra virgin olive oil: 3 tbsp, for sautéing and greasing the baking sheet
- Fresh sage leaves: 8, fried for crispy garnish
- Mixed wild mushrooms or cremini mushrooms: 1 lb, sliced, caramelized in a skillet
- Kosher salt and pepper: To taste, for seasoning
- Butter: 2 tbsp, used to cook the mushrooms and garlic
- Garlic: 1 clove, minced or grated, added to the mushrooms for flavor
- Fresh herbs (basil & thyme): 1/2 cup, roughly chopped, used for flavoring the mushrooms
- Brussels sprouts: 1 lb, shredded, mixed with olive oil and seasoning
- Pizza dough: 1/2 lb, either homemade or store-bought, rolled out to a 10-12 inch circle
- Apple butter: 2 tbsp, spread over the dough for a hint of sweetness
- Crushed red pepper flakes: 1 pinch, for a slight spicy kick
- Fresh burrata cheese: 8 oz, used for creamy texture
- Shredded provolone cheese: 1 1/2 cups, for melting and topping
- Prosciutto: 3 oz, torn into pieces, for crispy texture and flavor
- Step 1:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Grease a large baking sheet with olive oil.
- Step 2:
- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet over high heat. When shimmering, add the sage leaves and fry for 30 seconds. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Step 3:
- Add mushrooms to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Stir and cook for another 3-5 minutes until caramelized. Add butter, garlic, and herbs. Stir until garlic is fragrant (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Step 4:
- Toss shredded Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Step 5:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to a 10-12 inch circle. Transfer to the baking sheet.
- Step 6:
- Spread apple butter over the dough. Top with burrata, followed by the mushrooms and Brussels sprouts mixture. Sprinkle with provolone and prosciutto.
- Step 7:
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese melts. Top with fried sage before serving.
- Serve the pizza immediately, while the cheese is still melty and the crust is crispy. Pair with a light salad or a glass of white wine.
- Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- For a spicier kick, add more crushed red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot honey after baking.
- If you can't find burrata, fresh mozzarella works as a great substitute.
