Instructions

Prepare the mushroom truffle salsa:

  • Clean the mushrooms and cut them into slices.
  • Add the olive oil to a large pan or saucepan. Sauté the onion, garlic and add the mushrooms and wine.
  • Add salt, pepper, thyme, and let them simmer with the lid on for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Move the seasoned mushrooms into the food processor and mix until a fine paste is formed. Add the truffle oil and then move the whole composition into a jar.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the pizza.
  • Grease the pan with about a tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Lay the top over the pan and grease it with another spoonful of olive oil.
  • Heat the oven to 250 C.
  • Using a mandolin or food processor, slice the potatoes thinly.
  • Put the potatoes in a bowl, pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper over the potato slices. Mix the potatoes in the oil so that all the slices are coated.
  • Arrange the potato slices over the pizza crust, slightly overlapping the slices until the entire crust is covered.
  • Sprinkle with a little more oil and even it out with a brush over the entire surface of the potato layer.
  • Put the pizza in the hot oven and bake for 10-13 minutes, until the potatoes start to brown.
  • You can move the pizza to the upper grill, for another 3-4 minutes and let the grill function, to make a golden crust. Sprinkle with the mixture of Italian herbs.
  • Serve hot pizza with truffle sauce over, optional.
