| Make Dough
Combine all flours, coarse salt, and sugar in processor. Stir 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water and yeast in 2-cup measuring cup. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons oil. With machine running, pour yeast-oil mixture through feed tube. Blend until ball of slightly sticky dough forms, about 1 minute. Transfer dough to lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if very sticky, about 5 minutes. Rub with 1/2 tablespoon oil; place in resealable 1-gallon plastic bag. Seal bag. Let dough rise at room temperature until doubled, about 2 hours. Open bag; punch down dough in bag. Reseal. Chill overnight, punching down occasionally. Divide into thirds. DO AHEAD Wrap pieces separately; freeze up to 1 week. Thaw 2 pieces in refrigerator before continuing. Let 2 wrapped pieces stand at room temperature 1 hour before shaping. Make Topping Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; sprinkle with salt. Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Do ahead: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, cover, and chill. Sprinkle 2 large sheets of parchment with flour. Roll out 2 dough pieces, each on separate parchment sheet, to 10-inch rounds, letting dough rest a few minutes if springing back. Brush with oil; sprinkle each with 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/3 cup Parmesan. Top with mushrooms, then dot with goat cheese. DO AHEAD Slide pizzas on parchment onto baking sheets; cover with plastic. Chill up to 4 hours. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Position 1 rack in bottom third and1 rack in top third of oven; place heavy baking sheet on each and preheat oven to 450°F for at least 30 minutes. Slide 1 pizza on parchment onto each hot baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes; reverse sheets. Bake pizzas until crusts are brown at edges and on bottom, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with chives. |

Wine suggestion: |
|
| a Red wine : a AOC Corsica - Domaine de Torraccia - 2003 - Niellucciu / Sciacarellu - Bio wine - Domaine de Torraccia, one of Corsica’s best vineyards. It was selected by Philippe Faure-Brac (the world’s Best Sommelier) to be served on Air France 1st Class. Its typical Corsican grapes (Niellucciu, Sciacarellu) produce aromas of red fruits as well as spices. Its powerful presence of spices makes it a perfect match for Thai food. Light-bodied, clean and elegant. The spices aromas and its light-body produces undoubtedly one of the best red wine match for Asian dishes seasonned with spices such as a not too spicy Tom Kha Kai. Of course, it also goes down very well with cheeses, mushrooms and pizza.
