This is a corker of a pizza recipe and worth firing up the oven on a chilly October evening. The truffle artichoke provides woody depth whilst the pear adds a light sweet, perfumed finish. The chargrilled fennel slices combine with creamy mascarpone cheese to make a pizza combo that ticks every box. I’m in love with this one!
Method
Preheat your pizza oven to 375˚C and roll out your dough. Place onto a floured peel and start by spreading your artichoke paste around the pizza base with the base of the spoon.
Next arrange fennel slices, pear and dollops of mascarpone cheese.
Bake your pizza in the pizza oven for 2-3 mins turning every 30 seconds or so for an even crust.
Remove from the oven and top with grated truffle, fennel fronds and a cheeky drizzle of truffle oil.
