Method for truffle mushroom pizza
- Make the pizza dough and tomato sauce following the instructions above.
- Stretch your pizza base into a circle, keeping it thinner in the centre, and with more of a lip at the edges. Place onto a preheated oven-safe frying pan. Spread over the tomato sauce and, using a mandolin, slice the mushrooms directly onto the pizza base. Top with the shredded mozzarella.
- Cook under a searingly hot grill for 6-10 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the topping is bubbling.
- Once cooked, remove from under the grill. Drizzle with truffle oil and scatter over torn fresh basil leaves.
