Instructions
Creating your own Mushroom Truffle Pizza can be a fun and rewarding experience. Follow these simple steps to bring this delicious dish to life:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Sauté the Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Add the Cheese: Spread the shredded mozzarella evenly over the pizza dough. Then sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
5. Top with Mushrooms: Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the cheese layer.
6. Bake the Pizza: Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Drizzle with Truffle Oil: Once the pizza is out of the oven, drizzle truffle oil over the top to enhance the flavor.
8. Garnish: Optionally, add fresh arugula on top for a peppery contrast.
9. Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a minute, then slice it into wedges and enjoy!
