I’ve found my new favorite pizza—and this is it. Truffle oil is ideal for pizzas and this one will leave you wishing you made more!
INGREDIENTS:
Any basic pizza dough recipe. I used a pre-packaged mix.
2 C mushrooms, sliced
1-1/2 C fresh spinach, torn or chopped
1 C fresh basil leaves, torn or chopped
3/4 C Daiya mozzarella cheese
Truffle oil, to taste (I recommend about a tablespoon)
Vegan margarine
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 425. Combine the mushrooms, spinach, basil, and truffle oil in a medium bowl; set aside. Using about a teaspoon of margarine, I greased a round pizza pan. Press dough onto the pan. Stick several times with a fork.
Bake the crust for 5 minutes, or until it begins to brown. Sprinkle a thin layer of cheese on top of the crust. Next, add all of the spinach/mushrooms mixture. Top with remaining cheese.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edge of the crust browns. Slice and enjoy!

Mushrooms and truffle oil on a pizza…sounds divine. Thank you for sharing with me tonight, my sweet friend. I hope that you have a wonderful week full of laughter, love and good food. As always, I’m leaving tonight feeling inspired by your creativity and kindness.
Very good recipe with great ingredients that your photos make look even more appetizing. Curious as to whether the Truffle Oil to use should be of a certain brand or specific quality. I understand Truffle Oil is not made of actual truffles but, instead, of synthetic ingredients that add the aroma of truffles to actual olive oil. Since olive oil is available in different grades wonder how that may impact the “truffle oil” and the taste of the pizza.
Oh, that’s interesting…I just checked the kind I use and it is in fact just “infused.” The brand is La Tourangelle and the ingredients are grapeseed oil with white truffle aroma. I’m nsmilitant about checking labels when it comes to meat, dairy, eggs, and other junk, I forget oils are often infused. I imagine, however, that grapeseed oil is actually better for you anyway. The aroma part . . . maybe not so much. I remember paying $15 for this one–I hate to see how much the real deal costs!
This looks DELICIOUS! I cannot wait to make this! Makes me feel better about not being able to eat dairy!
Non dairy alternative may take some time to get used to, but once you start seeing and feeling the benefits from giving up dairy, you won’t care if they taste different. When I first gave up dairy in 2007, I just reminded myself that I’m also not ingesting hormones and antibiotics that are given to cows, sheep, and goats. It just makes sense.
Yes it does help. What do you suggest for non-dairy chocolate substitutes? Also any recipes for non-dairy creamy sauces for pasta? Your blog is wonderful and so helpful!
Oh, thanks! I’m glad I can be of help. Well, Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips are vegan. Dark chocolate is vegan until manufacturers add milk to it. Carob is pretty gross, so I don’t recommend it. As for creamy pasta sauces, try Creamy Macaroni with Cashew Sauce or VegNews’ Mac n Cheese or The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook has some great non-dairy sauce recipes too. You can also try my vegan white sauce on pasta. I hope this helps–let me know what you think or if you have questions about them. 🙂
