Truffled Taleggio and Mushroom Pizza

This truffled Taleggio and mushroom pizza is a sophisticated twist on a vegetarian classic, combining earthy mushrooms with the creamy, pungent notes of Italian cheese. The secret to its crisp, golden base lies in preheating the baking tray, which ensures a professional finish without the need for a dedicated pizza oven. It is an effortlessly elegant dish that feels far more indulgent than its simple preparation suggests.

Perfect for a weekend treat or a quick midweek supper, this recipe uses shop-bought dough to save time while focusing on high-quality toppings. The addition of white truffle oil adds an aromatic, savoury depth that elevates the mild mushrooms and melted Taleggio. Serve it fresh from the oven with a crisp green salad for a balanced and comforting homemade meal.

Ingredients for Truffled Taleggio and Mushroom Pizza

  • 450g pizza dough, thawed if frozen

  • 230g sliced mushrooms

  • 350g cold Taleggio or Italian Fontina, rind discarded and cheese sliced

  • 1 teaspoon white truffle oil (optional)

How to make Truffled Taleggio and Mushroom Pizza

Put a large heavy baking sheet (17 by 14 inches) on lowest rack of oven, then preheat oven to 260°C.

Stretch out dough on a lightly floured surface, pulling on corners to form a roughly 16- by 13-inch rectangle. Transfer to a tray lined with parchment paper. Lightly prick dough all over with a fork.

Slide dough (still on parchment) onto hot baking sheet. Bake until top is puffed and pale golden in patches, 6 to 10 minutes.

Remove from oven; prick any large bubbles with a fork and flatten. Scatter mushrooms over crust, then season with salt and pepper and lay cheese on top.

Bake pizza until edge of crust is deep golden and cheese is bubbling and golden in patches, 8 to 10 minutes. Drizzle with truffle oil (if using) and season with pepper. Serve immediately.
