Mushroom & Mozzarella Pizza With Truffle Infused Oil

A delicious and moreish homemade pizza, with one of my favourite flavours! Buy a good quality pre-made pizza base and off you go. You could also use pita bread or tortillas for the base.

You can choose between an oven and barbecue for this recipe – the barbecue works well to make the base super crispy.

Ingredients

1 pizza base or pita bread
2 tbsp tomato paste or passata
1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp butter
4 cups mushrooms thickly sliced (button, flat, cup or brown all work)
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
sea salt & cracked black pepper
1 ball fresh mozzarella cheese large, sliced
6 sprigs rosemary
2 tbsp truffle infused olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the barbecue or oven to 200°C conventional (180°C fan-forced).
Spread the pizza base or pita bread with the tomato paste and grated mozzarella. Bake for 15–20 minutes to get the base heated and a little crispy.

Meanwhile, heat a medium frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the olive oil, butter and mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring. In the last minute, add the chopped garlic and stir through. Season well.

Scatter the warm mushrooms onto the pizza base. Add the sliced mozzarella pieces and sprinkle on some rosemary leaves. You can serve it like this or pop the pizza under the grill for 5 minutes. Drizzle the truffle infused olive oil over the pizza, season well and serve.

If you don’t like truffles, you can use a normal olive oil to drizzle over the pizza. 🍕
