Preparation

Step 1

One hour before baking, place a pizza stone on rack in top third of oven. Preheat oven to 500°F.

In a small bowl, combine mushrooms, oil and salt.

On a lightly floured work surface, use your hands or a rolling pin to shape dough into a 10- to 12-inch circle. Transfer dough to a pizza peel or rimless baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Top with mushrooms in an even layer. Crumble goat cheese over mushrooms. Top with fontina. Bake 8 minutes. Turn on broiler; broil pizza 1 minute or until cheese is bubbly and edges are puffed and browned. Sprinkle with thyme leaves and, if desired, red pepper flakes.
