  • 2-3 Tsp. Corn Meal

  • 1-2 Tsp. Garlic Powder

  • 1/2 Tsp. Oil

  • 1/2 Tsp. Black Truffle Salt

Pizza Dough Directions

  • Add yeast to room temperature water and let bloom (may need to add 1 tsp of Sugar if you are unsure if the yeast is active).

  • Combine flour, salt and yeasty water together in stand mixer.

  • As soon as the dough is all incorporated, stop the stand mixer and let it rest for 30 minutes. Turn stand mixer back on for 7-10 minutes.

  • With no flour on the counter, form dough into a perfect ball ensuring the pinch at the bottom is rolled out. Put ball and cover in fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to use the dough portion out as desired and let the doughballs sit under damp towel at room temp for 30 minutes. Ratio to follow is 100% flour to 3% salt to 1% yeast. No sugar added unless you want quick/warm fermentation or you need to check if yeast is still good. You will need a little flour when you are ready to form the dough.

Pizza Directions

  • Start with the pizza sauce: In a small pot, combine the flour and butter together over medium heat and make a rue. Mix continuously until desired browness has been achieved. Reduce the heat slightly and add in the cream and then the cheese. Mix well. Add in the oil and spices and continue mixing. Reduce heat to a simmer and allow the flavors to come together. Add additional oils or seasoning to achieve desired taste. Remove from heat and set aside until needed.

  • Pre-heat the oven to 415F degrees. Sprinkle a large pizza pan with corn meal and form the dough then lay it out on top.

  • Spread the pizza sauce on the dough almost to the edges then sprinkle the garlic powder and truffle salt on top of the sauce. Begin adding the cheese and mushrooms. by alternating 1/4 portions of each so that it sort of creates layers of mushrooms and cheese.

  • Brush the crust with oil then sprinkle lightly with garlic powder or extra cheese or extra corn meal for texture - your choice!

  • Bake for 10 minutes then broil on LO for 10 minutes. Voila!

MAKE IT EASY - Use a pre-made crust instead of making it from scratch.

MAKE IT EXTRA - Use a fancier cheese like gruyere and smoked cheddar to replace the mozza.
