Shiitake and Chanterelle Pizzas with Goat Cheese

Print Recipe

Shiitake & Chanterelle Pizzas with Goat Cheese — my pizza heaven! There’s enough dough for one more pizza, so freeze the extra. The vital wheat gluten flour is high in protein and helps create a chewy crust. It’s sold at some supermarkets and natural foods stores. Bread flour will also give great results.
