Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and grease a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil. Sprinkle yellow cornmeal on the surface.
  2. Melt unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Stir in sliced mushrooms, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms are tender.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough on a cornmeal-dusted surface to a 12-inch round.
