Preparation
Place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven, and preheat to 475°.
In large bowl, combine flour, salt and dry yeast. With a wooden spoon, gradually stir in lukewarm water until dough forms. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Add olive oil and continue to knead until dough becomes elastic. Cover dough with a cloth and keep in a warm place; let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. Punch down dough, divide into 4 equal portions and shape into 4 disks of approximately 8″ in diameter.
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce evenly on dough and strew shredded Jarlsberg® on top. Scatter seasoned mushrooms over Jarlsberg®. Bake on the preheated pizza stone until pizza crust is golden brown, approx. 12 – 15 minutes.
Serving suggestion: Serve piping hot with fresh arugula on top.
