Pesto Japanese Mushroom Flatbread

This menu is like a quick & easy homemade pizza with Japanese mushrooms and Pesto. It turned out to be very yummy!! This recipe was adapted from Steamy Kitchen.


I just bought various kinds of Japanese mushrooms this week. The kind that I used for this menu is called Brown Beech Mushrooms.


To make this quick, we could use naan bread instead of rolling out our own pizza dough. The naan that I used is mini whole wheat naan from Trader Joe's. It's baked in Tandoori oven so it has pretty nice oven smell (though it did not taste that much like Naan in indian restaurant). I used pre-made Pesto from Trader Joe's which was made from fresh ingredients. I also used part skim milk Mozzarella cheese from Trader Joe's. Actually almost everything was from Trader Joe's except mushrooms lol. With some pepper flakes, this turned out to be very delicious!! I forgot to buy fresh basil so I left that out. It probably tastes even better with it. Now what should I cook with remaining pesto...


Notes to myself:
  • 1/4 of big (typical) onion should be enough. I added too much onion this time.
  • This naan is a bit too thick and too small. Maybe try other kinds of flatbread like Pita bread next time?
  • Need to add more pesto!
