Pizza with wild mushrooms and young thyme

4 servings

15 minutes

Pizza with forest mushrooms and young thyme is an ode to Italian tradition with notes of woodland freshness. Its history begins in the ancient rural areas of Italy, where foraged mushrooms were used to create aromatic, rich flavors. Porcini and chanterelles fill the dish with earthy richness, while young thyme adds a light spiciness. The hand-made crispy dough transforms into a tender base that absorbs every note of the topping. Cherry tomatoes add juiciness to the pizza, while 'Lambert' cream cheese provides softness and rich flavor. Perfectly paired with a glass of light white wine or herbal tea, this pizza embodies the coziness and warmth of a family dinner. Its aroma can transport you to the heart of an Italian forest where nature's freshness meets culinary art.
