Ingredients
Number Of Servings: 4
Directions
- For the crust, in medium bowl, combine 1 C flour, flax meal, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- In small bowl, combine warm water, olive oil, and garlic. Add to flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir mixture until well-blended. Gradually stir in enough remaining flour (start with 1/2 C) to make a soft dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead dough with enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. Lightly grease bowl; place dough in bowl and turn once. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled in size, about 60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. Punch dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into four portions (for individual pizzas) and let rest for 10 minutes. Shape each portion into a 6" or 7" round. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle each crust with 2 T (each) olive oil. Top each crust with 2 ounces sliced goat cheese and 2 C assorted mushrooms. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Remove from oven; let sit for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly. Sprinkle each pizza with fresh thyme to garnish, and serve immediately.
