Cooking Instructions

To make the base:

  1.  Heat the oven to 220 °C.
  2.  Put the flour in a large bowl and stir in the yeast, sugar and salt.
  3.  Pour in the olive oil and water and quickly mix the ingredients together until they form a dough.
  4.  Remove from the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes or until the dough is smooth.
  5.  Lightly sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of polenta or flour over a large baking sheet.
  6.  Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rough oval shape about 30 cm x 35 cm – you can also do this on a greased baking tray.

To make the topping:

  1.  Spread the mascarpone around the pizza base using the back of a spoon.
  2.  Scatter with garlic, half the parmesan, the mushrooms, spring onions and walnuts, then the remaining parmesan.
  3.  Season with salt and a good grinding of black pepper.
  4.  Bake for 12–18 minutes or until the base is crisp and the top is golden.
  5.  Serve with a drizzle of olive oil.
