Ingredients (for four servings):
For the Dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons **active dry yeast**
- 1 1/2 cups **warm water**
- 4 cups **bread flour**
- 1 tablespoon **granulated sugar**
- 1 teaspoon **salt**
- 2 tablespoons **olive oil**
For the Toppings:
- 1 cup **pizza sauce**
- 2 cups **shredded mozzarella cheese**
- 1 cup **sliced cremini mushrooms**
- 1 cup **sliced shiitake mushrooms**
- 1/2 cup **sliced white mushrooms**
- 2 tablespoons **truffle oil**
- 1/4 cup **grated Parmesan cheese**
- **Fresh parsley**, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Dough:**
- In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
3. Assemble the Pizza:
- Punch down the dough and divide it into four equal portions. Roll out each portion into a 10-inch circle on a floured surface.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough onto pieces of parchment paper.
- Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the assorted mushrooms.
- Drizzle truffle oil over the top and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake the Pizza:
- Carefully transfer the assembled pizzas onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Slice and serve hot, and savor the gourmet flavors of our Truffle Mushroom Pizza!
