Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup porcini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped baby bella mushrooms, cleaned
  • 2 sweet Italian sausages, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp truffle oil
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
  • Red chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven (10 minutes): Set your oven to its highest temperature, ideally around 475°F (245°C) or as per your pizza dough instructions. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  2. Prepare the Pizza Base (5 minutes): Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet sprinkled with flour or cornmeal.
  3. Apply Base Toppings (2 minutes): Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  4. Add Main Toppings (5 minutes): Distribute the sliced porcini mushrooms, chopped baby bellas, and crumbled sausage evenly over the cheese.
  5. Bake the Pizza (8-10 minutes): Transfer the pizza (using a pizza peel) onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly charred in spots.
  6. Drizzle and Garnish (2 minutes): Once out of the oven, drizzle the truffle sauce or truffle oil over the pizza. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil or parsley, and chili flakes if desired.
  7. Serve (1 minute): Slice the pizza into wedges using a pizza cutter and serve immediately.

Notes

To get the most flavor out of your porcini mushrooms, consider rehydrating dried porcinis in warm water if fresh ones aren’t available. The soaking liquid can even be reduced on the stove to create a mushroom broth, which can be used in other dishes. Pair this pizza with a bold red wine to complement the earthy flavors of the mushrooms and truffle. For a side, consider a fresh arugula salad with a lemon vinaigrette to balance the richness of the pizza.
