Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough, at room temperature
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp truffle oil
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp semolina or cornmeal for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper.
- On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 2 balls. Stretch each into a 12-inch round. Dust a pizza peel or parchment with semolina and place one dough round on it.
- Spread half the mushroom mixture over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with half the mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Slide pizza onto hot stone and bake until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly, 10-12 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining dough and toppings. Drizzle each pizza with truffle oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
Tips
- For a stronger truffle flavor, add a few shavings of fresh truffle before serving.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and aroma.
- If using a baking sheet instead of a stone, bake at 475°F for 12-15 minutes.
