- 1/2 recipe Pizza Dough
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced button mushrooms
- 1 1/3 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 1 cup vertically sliced red onion
- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- 3 tablespoons low-fat sour cream

- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; sauté for 5 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 3 minutes or until the onion is very tender. Stir in the salt and pepper.
