Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12-14 oz) Whole wheat pizza dough (low sodium)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted pizza sauce or no-salt-added tomato puree
- 1 cup Low-sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms (such as cremini or portobello), thinly sliced
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
- 1 tablespoon Black truffle oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Place the whole wheat pizza dough on a floured surface and roll it out into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil to help create a crispy crust.
Spread the unsalted pizza sauce (or no-salt-added tomato puree) evenly across the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of crust around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded low-sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Top the cheese with the thinly sliced mushrooms and minced garlic.
Transfer the pizza (including the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle the black truffle oil over the top of the pizza and garnish with fresh arugula.
Optionally, sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and ground black pepper for added flavor.
Slice and serve immediately for a luxurious low-sodium truffle pizza experience!
