Description
Mushroom mozzarella truffle pizza is a gourmet dish that combines earthy mushrooms, creamy mozzarella, and luxurious truffle oil, perfect for special occasions or cozy nights.
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 2 cups, plus extra for dusting
- Active dry yeast: 1 teaspoon
- Warm water: 3/4 cup (about 110°F or 43°C)
- Sugar: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Olive oil: 1 tablespoon, plus extra for greasing
- Fresh mozzarella cheese: 8 ounces, sliced
- Mushrooms: 1 cup, sliced (such as cremini or button)
- Truffle oil: 2 tablespoons, plus extra for drizzling
- Fresh basil leaves: For garnish
- Sea salt: To taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by mixing warm water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
- Sauté the sliced mushrooms in a skillet with olive oil for 5-7 minutes until tender and browned. Season with sea salt.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a 12-inch round shape. Transfer to a pizza peel or baking sheet.
- Spread the sautéed mushrooms over the dough and arrange the mozzarella slices on top.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Drizzle extra truffle oil on top, sprinkle with fresh basil, and add a touch of sea salt before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Allow the dough to rise properly for a light and airy crust.
- Use warm ingredients to activate the yeast effectively.
- Avoid overloading the pizza with toppings to prevent sogginess.
- Do not open the oven door frequently while baking.
