Cremini mushrooms
Sliced thin and dried briefly to drive off water.
About
Cremini (baby bella) mushrooms are the all-purpose pizza mushroom — meatier than white button, less expensive than full-size portobello. Slice thin and either dry-sauté for 5 minutes or salt and rest for 15 to drive off water before topping; raw mushrooms weep into the cheese. For Roman tonda or al taglio, a mix of cremini, oyster, and shiitake gives more complexity.
