Restaurant-Level Truffle Mushroom Pizza
This truffle pizza has everything to make you feel like you're restaurant dining in the Italian countryside at home. And what takes it from homemade pizza to luxurious, restaurant-worthy is one special ingredient: truffle oil!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil divided, 30 mL
- 8 oz sliced button mushrooms 226 g
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 12-inch pizza dough 30 cm
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 56 g
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese 28 g
- 1 Tbsp truffle oil 15 mL
- Optional: fresh truffle
Instructions
- Preheat: Place a pizza stone (if you have one) in the oven. Preheat oven and pan to 500°F (260°C).
- Cook Mushrooms: In a large saute pan, heat 1 Tbsp of the oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and garlic, cooking until mushrooms sweat out their moisture and begin to turn golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
- Assemble: Roll out pizza dough onto parchment paper, brushing the top with remaining 1 Tbsp of oil. Sprinkle with cheeses, then top with your cooked mushrooms. Carefully slide the parchment paper and pizza onto your preheated pizza pan, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
- Serve: Drizzle truffle oil over pizza right before serving, optionally topping with thinly grated fresh truffle.
Notes
For an extra crispy bottom, sprinkle your parchment paper with cornmeal before rolling out the dough.
What type of truffles are best for pizza? When it comes to black vs. white truffles, black tends to have a more intense flavor, while white truffles are a bit subdued. Certain dishes, therefore, work better with white or black, depending on the ingredients!
Air Frying: You can also bake the pizza in your air fryer!
