Instructions
Preparation
- 1Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to get very hot.
- 2In a medium skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and have released their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assembly and Baking
- 1Carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven. Place the thin pizza crust onto the hot surface, or directly onto a piece of parchment paper for easier transfer.
- 2Evenly spread the white sauce over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of truffle oil.
- 3Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the sauce, followed by the shredded mozzarella. Arrange the slices of prosciutto over the cheese.
- 4Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking time may vary based on your oven and crust thickness.
Finishing
- 1Once baked, carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Top generously with fresh arugula.
- 2Slice immediately and serve hot, optionally drizzled with a little extra truffle oil or balsamic glaze before serving.

Tips
- Using a preheated pizza stone or inverted baking sheet is crucial for achieving an authentic crispy thin crust texture.
- Keep an eye on the crust edge; thin crusts cook quickly. If it browns too fast, you can cover the edges with foil.
- For an enhanced flavor profile, a drizzle of high-quality balsamic glaze over the arugula before serving is highly recommended.
