It is an indulgent experience that brings restaurant-quality flavors straight to your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 400 g high-gluten flour
- 200 g water
- 1 g yeast
- 6 g salt
- 150 g white button mushrooms
- 1 tbsp light cream
- 4 tbsp black truffle paste
- 200 g shredded mozzarella and cheddar blend
- to dust cornmeal
Instructions
- 1Sauté the mushrooms
Slice the white mushrooms and place them into a pan with a little light cream, then sauté them until they are cooked and softened before setting them aside.
Tip: Sautéing them with light cream adds a rich base flavor to the mushrooms. - 2Stretch the pizza dough
Take one portion of the fermented and rested dough, coat it generously in cornmeal or flour, and stretch it out into an even flat base.
Tip: Handle the dough gently to preserve the gas bubbles inside for a better crust texture. - 3Spread black truffle paste
Take the stretched pizza dough base and use a spoon to spread a generous and even layer of dark black truffle paste across the surface, leaving a small border for the crust.
Tip: Make sure to spread the paste thinly and evenly so the flavor distributes well across every bite. - 4Add the mushroom layer
Take the previously sautéed mushroom slices and arrange them evenly on top of the layer of black truffle paste spread across the pizza base.
Tip: Distribute the mushrooms uniformly so every slice of pizza gets a balanced topping. - 5Top with cheese
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the mushrooms and truffle paste to completely cover the pizza before baking.
Tip: A mix of mozzarella and cheddar gives both great meltability and rich flavor.
