Wild Mushroom & Caramelized Onion Flatbread

Now that I've shown you the recipe for easy pizza dough, I need to show you what I made with it. Since it doesn't have any tomato sauce, I'm calling this dish a flatbread (some may call it a white pizza), but all you need to know is that it's one of the best things I've eaten in months. Gooey mozzarella and nutty gruyere cheese melt together with sweet caramelized onions, savory wild mushrooms, and fresh thyme. The crust gets nice and crispy while the toppings bake and melt together in cheesy umami goodness. I like to serve it with a peppery arugula salad for a quick and satisfying dinner that will make you feel like you're at the coolest pizzeria in town.
