Pizza Bianca with Mushrooms, Pears, Thyme, Parmesan & Truffle Oil


Since you literally can never have enough pizza, I decided to throw another one in to the mix.  Even though my Pizza Bovanese was a fairly recent post - I know most people won't have an issue with another pizza love entering their life so soon.

This pizza was thrown together by hubs as an impromptu, improvised but nevertheless impressive project one Sunday night.  Now that the leafs are back to rape my television for another season, hubs knows the best way to make this a fun experience for me is to bribe me with food and alcohol.  Ergo, we decided on a pizza, wings and beer night at home a couple weeks ago to "enjoy" a leaf game together.  After realizing that we have too much dough - one pizza became two - and number two came out as a random assortment of ingredients thrown together into a fantastic accident.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/2 ball fresh dough (found in bakery section of your local grocer) - rolled out as thin as possible
1 pear (sliced very thin)
2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 tbsp butter
salt
2 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
truffle oil for drizzle
EVOO

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a pan, melt your butter over medium heat.  Add your mushrooms in a single layer and cook until browned on both sides - lightly salt and then remove from pan.

Top your pizza w a thin layer of EVOO using your hands to spread evenly.  Top the pizza with your mushrooms, pear slices, thyme, a few pinches of salt and cheese.

Bake for about 15 minutes or until the bottom is slightly golden.  Drizzle with truffle oil before you are ready to serve.

Pair with a leaf game and an abundance of booze and you'll have yourself a jolly ol' time.  I know I did.

Enjoy!
