Poor Man’s Roosevelt – Mushroom and Gruyère Flatbread
Written by Rachel, Posted in Baking, Cheese, Main Dishes, Pizza, Vegetables
We have Pizza Fridays in our home. Even last Friday. Our oven broke, so I used the toaster and using a small baking dish did a stuffed mini pizza. So good! Pizza Fridays started when I was looking for the best pizza dough. I was going to make a different one each week and have a little competition. (Note: A few years later, I’m still searching for that perfect crust!)
A little over a month ago I thought it would be fun to try a flatbread pizza. The Roosevelt used to have an amazing Truffle Flatbread that I wanted to try to make at home. Oh man. Best idea ever! The first time we had it, we had to pause the movie so I could make a second one because it was so good! I wasn’t going to buy truffles (I mean, I want to, but a little pricy), so I used mushrooms, really thinly sliced. Just read the recipe, then try it, you won’t be sorry. Then try it with other toppings. It’s delightful! I can’t wait until tomorrow – Pizza Friday! Our oven is still broken. We’ll see what I come up with. But you, you can make this tonight, or have your own Pizza Friday!!
Happy Eating!

Rachel,
I have enjoyed your suggestion to read your pot today AND it inspired me to try the flat bread pizza! I have the crust made and am about to pop it in the oven for the 6 min on my stone then plan to top with, mushrooms, articokes, basil, oregano and fresh tomatoes. I am trying to go dariy free 🙁 right now. so will will see how it tastes
opps, a typo – pot meant post!
We are off to the Farmer’s Market and I just added mushrooms to our list. Can’t wait to make the pizza this week!! We’ll make sure to toast our lovely Cali friends who we first shared this pizza with. xoxo
