What’s truffle pizza?
While the chocolate type of truffle may come to your mind first, these truffles are mushrooms, which are technically fungi. They grow underground on the roots of trees. Because of their rare availability, truffles have been called the “diamond of the kitchen” and are prized possessions in many cuisines. Truffle pizza, made with truffle mushrooms and truffle oil, finds its flavour from the garlicy-tasting mushrooms. Combined with dough, mozzarella, and garlic, truffle pizza makes for a win, quite literally.
Here’s a must-try recipe from Sonja and Alex Overhiser who run a blog called A Couple Cooks.
Ingredients
1 no – Ball-sized pizza Dough6 no – Truffle mushrooms1 no – Garlic clove1 handful – Chives1/4 teaspoon – Kosher salt1tablespoon – Olive oil, plus more for drizzling3/4 cup – Shredded mozzarella cheese1/4 cup – Parmesan cheeseSemolina flour or cornmeal, for dusting the pizza peelTruffle oil, for drizzlingChunky sea salt (optional), for garnish

Method
*Make the pizza dough.*Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F or preheat your pizza oven/*Prepare the toppings: Slice the mushrooms. Mince the garlic. Chop the chives; set aside a handful of chopped chives for the garnish.*In a saute pan or skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil to medium high heat. Add the mushrooms, garlic, chives, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown.*Bake the pizza: When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour.*Brush a thin layer of olive oil onto the crust. Then top with the mozzarella cheese in an even layer, then the Parmesan cheese and the cooked mushrooms.*Use the pizza peel to carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake the pizza until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes in the oven (or 1 minute in a pizza oven).*Top with the truffle oil to taste, then top with the reserved chopped chives and a bit of kosher salt or chunky sea salt, crushed with your fingers as you add it. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.
