Luxurious White Truffle Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
White truffle is the "white diamond" of gastronomy; its aroma is so complex and volatile that it would be a sin to kill it with heat. This recipe evokes the elegance of the Piedmont region: we skip the tomato to avoid acidity clashing with flavors, creating a rich, creamy "bianca" base instead. The goal is for the creamy fats (cream, cheese) to trap and amplify the earthy, nutty scent of the truffle.

⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to max (min 425°F/220°C, preferably 480°F/250°C), and heat up the baking sheet.

Tip: The hot surface instantly sears the crust, preventing it from getting soggy from the cream.
2 ✓

Stretch the room temperature dough by hand on a floured surface, leaving thicker edges.

Tip: If dough snaps back, let rest 5-10 minutes. Gluten needs to relax.
3 ✓

Place dough on parchment. Brush thinly with cream, season lightly with salt and pepper.

Tip: Cream fat protects the dough, but use a thin layer or it becomes soup.
4 ✓

Scatter torn mozzarella and half the Parmesan.

Tip: Keep cheese away from the very edge so the rim can puff up.
5 ✓

Drizzle with oil, then slide onto the hot tray (with paper). Bake 10-12 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Tip: Look for dark spots on the crust indicating it's done.
6 ✓

Remove pizza and IMMEDIATELY shave fresh white truffle over it while hot.

Tip: Steam and heat activate the truffle aroma without cooking it.
7 ✓

Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and fresh basil. Serve immediately.

Tip: Basil freshness contrasts the rich cheese.

Recipe FAQ

Why can't I bake the truffle?
White truffle flavor compounds are heat-sensitive. If baked, the flavor disappears, leaving you with expensive mushrooms. Always shave it fresh at the end!
Can I use truffle oil?
Yes, but sparingly. Most oils use artificial aromas that can be overpowering. Just a few drops at the end.
