Make a gourmet gluten-free black and white truffle pizza with fresh mozzarella, creamy burrata, Parmigiano Reggiano, and aromatic truffles.
There is nothing quite like the unmistakable aroma of fresh truffles. This Gourmet Gluten-Free Black and White Truffle Pizza Recipe combines rich minced white truffles preserved in olive oil with delicate, paper-thin shavings of fresh black truffle for an unforgettable dining experience.
Fresh mozzarella melts into a creamy layer across the crisp gluten-free crust, while spoonfuls of luscious burrata add a cool, velvety finish. Authentic Parmigiano Reggiano brings a nutty, savory flavor that complements the earthy truffles without overwhelming them. A light dusting of Sabatino Tartufi Truffle Zest Seasoning enhances the aroma and creates another layer of luxurious truffle flavor.
Although the finished pizza looks and tastes restaurant-worthy, it requires surprisingly little preparation. Serve it for an intimate dinner, holiday gathering, date night, or any special occasion that calls for an impressive centerpiece. Pair it with a lightly dressed arugula salad or shaved fennel salad for an elegant, balanced meal.
Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 475°F or to the temperature recommended for your gluten-free pizza crust. If using a pizza stone or pizza steel, place it in the oven while it preheats. Allowing the baking surface to become thoroughly hot will help produce a crisp, evenly baked crust.
Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Crust
Place the gluten-free pizza crust on a pizza peel, pizza pan, or baking sheet, depending on the type of crust and baking surface you are using.
Brush the crust lightly and evenly with the extra virgin olive oil, leaving a small border around the edge. The olive oil adds flavor while helping the exposed edge of the crust become crisp and golden.
Step 3: Add the Mozzarella and White Truffle
Arrange the torn fresh mozzarella evenly over the prepared crust. Leave a little space between the pieces so the cheese can melt without completely covering the surface.
Spoon the Spartacus Truffle Minced White Truffle in Olive Oil over the mozzarella. Distribute both the minced truffles and some of their flavorful olive oil across the pizza so every slice receives a balanced amount.
Step 4: Add the Parmigiano Reggiano and Seasoning
Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano evenly over the mozzarella and minced white truffle.
Finish the unbaked pizza with 1 to 2 teaspoons of Sabatino Tartufi Truffle Zest Seasoning. Begin with the smaller amount if you prefer a more delicate truffle flavor. Use the larger amount for a more pronounced truffle aroma.
Step 5: Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone, pizza steel, or oven rack as appropriate for the crust. If using a pizza pan or baking sheet, place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or according to the crust manufacturer’s directions, until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Baking time may vary depending on the thickness and style of the gluten-free crust.
Step 6: Add the Burrata
Carefully transfer the hot pizza to a serving board. Allow it to stand only long enough to handle safely.
Tear the burrata into generous pieces and arrange them across the hot pizza. The warmth from the pizza will gently soften the burrata while preserving its rich, creamy center.
Step 7: Shave the Fresh Black Truffle
Using a truffle slicer or a very sharp knife, shave the fresh black truffle paper-thin directly over the warm pizza. Distribute the shavings evenly so each serving receives fresh truffle.
Add the black truffle after baking to preserve its delicate flavor and unmistakable aroma. The warmth of the pizza will release the truffle’s fragrance without exposing it to the oven’s intense heat.
Step 8: Garnish and Serve
Finish the pizza with extra shaved Parmigiano Reggiano and freshly cracked black pepper. Add microgreens or baby arugula, if desired, for a fresh contrast to the creamy cheese and earthy truffles.
Slice and serve the pizza immediately while the crust is crisp, the burrata is creamy, and the fresh truffle is at its most aromatic.
Notes
The combination of Spartacus Truffle Minced White Truffle in Olive Oil, Sabatino Tartufi Truffle Zest Seasoning, and freshly shaved black truffle creates distinct layers of truffle flavor without overpowering the pizza.
Fresh black truffle should always be shaved over the pizza after baking. High oven temperatures can diminish its delicate aroma and nuanced flavor.
Use authentic Parmigiano Reggiano and fresh burrata for the richest flavor and creamiest texture. Tear the burrata over the pizza instead of spreading it so that each piece retains some of its creamy center.
A preheated pizza stone or pizza steel can help produce a crisp gluten-free crust. Follow the crust manufacturer’s directions when they differ from the temperature or baking time given in this recipe.
The amount of Truffle Zest Seasoning can be adjusted according to personal preference and the strength of the other truffle ingredients. Start with 1 teaspoon and increase to 2 teaspoons for a more intense flavor.
Serve this gourmet pizza with a lightly dressed arugula salad, shaved fennel salad, or simple mixed greens. A fresh, acidic side dish provides a pleasant contrast to the rich cheeses and truffles.
For anyone with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, verify that the pizza crust, minced truffle product, truffle seasoning, cheeses, and all other packaged ingredients carry appropriate gluten-free labeling.
Prevent cross-contact by using clean utensils, preparation surfaces, pans, and baking equipment.
