Roast the Shiitake Mushrooms
Clean the shiitake mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth. Remove the stems and slice the caps into thick slices. Toss the mushroom slices in a bowl with olive oil and salt. Spread them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Prepare the Pizza Dough
