Cremini, Gorgonzola and Gruyere Pizza
Creating delicious memories in the kitchen.

There’s nothing quite as fun in the kitchen as stretching, throwing, flouring, and topping a homemade pizza – it’s an activity that kids and adults alike can get around. Making the dough from scratch will undoubtedly make you feel more accomplished, but buying a ball of dough from your local pizzeria is a great shortcut if you’re in a rush or don’t have the patience.
There are endless gourmet topping choices when it comes to pizza. However, we have chosen a simple vegetarian version to allow the earthy Italian flavors to shine. In addition, mushrooms are delicious and packed with enriching health benefits – so what better reason to treat yourself to a pizza?
Mushrooms offer a healthy dose of minerals and vitamins, including magnesium, copper, potassium, zinc, and various B vitamins. Plus, they’re rich in antioxidants and low in calories! Paired with our kyoord High-phenolic Olive Oil this recipe is as great for your health as your soul. So don’t forget to top your pizza with olive oil when it comes fresh from the oven! Whether it’s date night or Friday evening with the kids, this pizza recipe is bound to create some delicious memories in the kitchen.
