Making the Pizza

• Make the pizza dough: Follow the Best Pizza Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
• Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. OR preheat your pizza oven.
• Prepare the toppings: Clean the mushrooms and slice them. In a saute pan or skillet, heat the olive oil to medium high heat. Add the mushrooms, chopped herbs, and kosher salt and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. When mushrooms are tender, reduce the heat to low, add lemon juice. Remove from the heat.
• Bake the pizza: When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. Stretch the dough into a circle, then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
• Brush a thin layer of olive oil onto the crust. Top with mozzarella cheese, cooked mushrooms, and crumbles of goat cheese. Garnish with chives and thyme sprigs. Sprinkle with pinch of kosher salt.
• Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake until the cheese and crust are browned, about 5 to 7 minutes (or 1 minute in a pizza oven). Slice and serve immediately.
