Over the weekend I walked into Rise Pizza restaurant in Burlingame, California only because I was craving pizza. Although the decor was inviting, I noticed my favorite and normal all inclusive wasn’t offered on their menu. I was hesitant, until I realized while making my way down the line that I could actually add a few toppings and create my very own pizza. The place was rustic, inviting and the staff very friendly. Which made my first-experience less stressful when they worked with me in creating the perfect artisan pizza with the most freshest of ingredients and the tastiest crust. I was in pizza-heaven.
In light of my experience, I decided to search for a pizza to make at home and here’s one that stood out for me this time around:
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- 1 pound mixed wild mushrooms or cremini mushrooms, sliced
- kosher salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
- 1/2 cup fresh herbs, roughly chopped (I like basil and thyme)
- 1 pound brussels sprouts, shredded
- 1/2 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 2 tablespoons apple butter
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces fresh burrata cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese
- 3 ounces prosciutto, torn
