Preparation
Step 1
Clean the mushrooms and remove any tough stems (especially on shiitakes). Slice and steam in a small skillet, covered, until done to your liking. Drain off the liquid and set aside.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 3
Place the crust on a pan, spread the sauce or ricotta cheese evenly over it, and sprinkle with the mushrooms, mozzarella, and scallions.
Step 4
Bake until the cheese is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, let stand for 2 to 3 minutes, and cut into 6 or 8 wedges to serve.
