Ingredients (Serves 2-3 people)
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 15 minutes | Serves: 2-3 people | Difficulty: Easy
Pizza Base
- 1 x 12-inch (30cm) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
Gourmet Toppings
- 200g (7oz) fresh burrata cheese
- 150g (5oz) mixed wild mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, enoki), sliced
- 100g (3.5oz) prosciutto di Parma, torn
- 2 tbsp (30ml) truffle oil
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 50g (1.8oz) baby arugula / rocket
- 30g (1oz) Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved
- 2-3 tbsp Sticky Balsamic Premium Truffle Pearls
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper
Method
Step 1 - Prepare Your Oven
Preheat oven to 250°C (480°F). If using a pizza stone, heat for 30 minutes for that authentic pizzeria crust.
Step 2 - Prep the Base
Brush pizza dough with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper for maximum flavor foundation.
Step 3 - Sauté the Mushrooms
Sauté mushrooms and red onion in truffle oil until golden (4-5 minutes). Season lightly - this builds the earthy flavor base.
Step 4 - Initial Bake
Bake pizza base for 5 minutes until just set but not golden. This prevents soggy pizza syndrome!
Step 5 - Add the Luxury
Remove from oven. Tear burrata into chunks and distribute across base. Add sautéed mushroom mixture and torn prosciutto.
Step 6 - Final Bake
Return to oven for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is melted to perfection.
Step 7 - The Truffle Pearl Finale
Remove and immediately top with fresh arugula / rocket, Parmigiano shavings, and generous spoonfuls of Sticky Balsamic Premium Truffle Pearls. The pearls will burst with intense flavor when you bite into it and marry perfectly with the creamy burrata!
Step 8 - Finishing Touches
Finish with a light drizzle of oil and cracked pepper for that restaurant-quality presentation.
