Pizza al Tartufo Bianco (White Truffle Pizza)

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

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Baking sheet or pizza stone (for crispy bottom)
  • Baking paper
  • Sharp knife or truffle shaver
  • Pastry brush

Allergen Information

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to highest setting (min. 220°C, preferably 250°C), and heat baking sheet.

Tip: Hot surface instantly bakes crust on dough bottom so it doesn't get soggy from cream. (Heat shock).
2 ✓

Roll out room temperature dough by hand on floured surface, leaving edges thicker.

Tip: If dough springs back during rolling, rest for 5-10 minutes. Gluten strands need to relax (Gluten relaxation).
3 ✓

Place dough on baking paper. Brush thinly with cream, salt and pepper lightly.

Tip: Cream fat content protects dough from drying, but apply thinly or result will be 'soupy'.
4 ✓

Scatter torn mozzarella and half the grated parmesan.

Tip: Don't scatter cheese to edge, leave rim free to puff up nicely.
5 ✓

Drizzle with little olive oil, then slide into hot oven (with paper). Bake 10-12 minutes until edge blisters and turns golden brown.

Tip: Watch dough edge: when darker spots appear, it's ready. (Maillard reaction).
6 ✓

Remove pizza and IMMEDIATELY, whilst hot, shave white truffle thinly over it.

Tip: Rising steam and pizza heat will 'activate' truffle scent without cooking it. (Essential oil release).
7 ✓

Sprinkle with remaining parmesan and fresh basil. Serve immediately.

Tip: Basil freshness counterpoints rich cheeses.

Recipe FAQ

Why can't I bake the truffle?
White truffle flavour compounds are heat sensitive. If you put it in the oven, flavour disappears and you get just an expensive mushroom. Always shave fresh at the end!
Can I use truffle oil?
Yes, but carefully. Most oils are artificial aroma and can be very dominant. Just a few drops on the pizza at the end.
