Ingredients
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 3 g salt
- 3 g yeast
- 175 g water
- 20 g butter
- 3 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp black truffle sauce
- to taste black pepper
- to taste salt
- 200 g mozzarella cheese
- 100 g sausages
Instructions
- 1Prepare the truffle sauce base
Add one spoonful of black truffle sauce into a bowl containing three spoonfuls of sour cream. The sour cream acts as a creamy substitute for Mascarpone, providing a tangy base that complements the earthy truffle flavor.
Tip: If you dont have Mascarpone, homemade sour cream is a great, tangy alternative for this pizza sauce. - 2Season the sauce
Sprinkle black pepper and salt over the mixture of sour cream and black truffle sauce. These seasonings help to balance the creaminess of the sour cream and enhance the deep, aromatic profile of the truffle sauce.
Tip: Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your preference, ensuring the flavors are well-balanced. - 3Combine the sauce ingredients
Thoroughly stir the sour cream, black truffle sauce, salt, and black pepper together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. The result should be a uniform, creamy, and fragrant white sauce ready for the pizza dough.
Tip: Ensure the mixture is well-incorporated so the truffle flavor is evenly distributed. - 4Shape the pizza dough
Take the fermented dough that was prepared the night before and press it into a circular baking pan. Spread it evenly to create the base for the pizza, ensuring it is thick enough to hold the toppings.
Tip: Using butter in the dough preparation gives it a richer flavor compared to using olive oil. - 5Spread the sauce
Use a spoon to spread a generous layer of the prepared white truffle sauce evenly over the surface of the shaped pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Tip: Spreading the sauce evenly ensures every bite has the creamy, truffle-infused flavor. - 6Add mozzarella cheese
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the white sauce base. This will melt in the oven, creating a delicious, stretchy, and creamy topping.
Tip: Distribute the cheese evenly to ensure complete coverage and a perfect melt. - 7Arrange sausage slices
Take the sliced sausages and carefully distribute them evenly across the layer of mozzarella cheese on the pizza dough. Spacing them out ensures every slice of pizza will have a consistent amount of sausage.
Tip: Push the sausage slices slightly into the cheese so they stay in place during the baking process. - 8Add a final cheese layer
Sprinkle an additional layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the arranged sausage slices. This final layer helps bind the ingredients together and creates a beautiful, melted golden crust once baked.
Tip: Using a generous amount of mozzarella ensures that extra creamy texture the recipe highlights. - 9Bake the pizza
Carefully place the prepared pizza into the oven preheated to 250 degrees. Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling, golden brown, and the crust is perfectly cooked.
Tip: Keep an eye on the pizza during the last few minutes to ensure the crust reaches your preferred level of crispness.
