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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy maneuvering.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Scatter the sautéed mushrooms over the cheese and season the pizza with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

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.

Step 11

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your gourmet Vegan Truffle Pizza!
