1

Prepare the pizza dough

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 packet of active dry yeast. Add 1 cup of warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

2

Let the dough rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size. This will give the pizza dough a light and airy texture.

3

Prepare the truffle sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of truffle oil, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly.

4

Roll out the dough

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness. Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5

Add toppings

Spread the prepared truffle sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Top it off with shredded mozzarella cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and a drizzle of truffle oil. Be generous with the toppings, as the flavors will meld together beautifully.

6

Bake to golden perfection

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, as ovens may vary in temperature.

7

Garnish with gold leaf

Once the pizza is out of the oven, carefully place thin, delicate pieces of edible gold leaf on top. This adds a touch of opulence and visual delight to your gold leaf truffle pizza.

8

Serve and enjoy

Slice the golden masterpiece into wedges and serve it hot. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty and extravagance of your creation before sinking your teeth into a slice of pure deliciousness.
