Ingredients
  • Flour, for dusting

  5. Place fontina cheese on bottom of dough, followed by mushrooms. Top with onions and Parmigiano-Reggiano and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Gently dust cornmeal onto hot pizza stone. Transfer dough to pizza stone and cook about 10-12 minutes, until crust gets lightly browned and cheeses are just melted.
