Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch round Pizza dough (vegan, store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for rolling dough)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Truffle oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Baby Bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.5 cup Cashew cream cheese (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
If using store-bought vegan pizza dough, let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Lightly dust your work surface with all-purpose flour and roll out the dough into a 12-inch round.
Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy maneuvering.
Brush the dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring even coverage. Then drizzle half of the truffle oil (about 3/4 tablespoon) over the surface.
In a small sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and slightly golden. Remove from heat.
Dollop small spoonfuls of cashew cream cheese evenly across the pizza base. Sprinkle the nutritional yeast over the top, followed by a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy dimension.
Scatter the sautéed mushrooms over the cheese and season the pizza with salt and black pepper.
Using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for 2 minutes. Top with fresh arugula and drizzle the remaining truffle oil over the pizza.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your gourmet Vegan Truffle Pizza!
