Truffle Balsamic Margherita Pizza

This elevated pizza brings together a crispy artisan crust, rich pizza sauce, and a luxurious finish of truffle balsamic glaze — simple enough for a weeknight, impressive enough for company.

What You'll Need

• Italian "00" Pizza Crust Kit — makes one 12" pizza
• Pizza Sauce — 3–4 tablespoons
• Truffle Flavored Balsamic Glaze — 1–2 teaspoons, for finishing
• Fresh mozzarella — 4 oz, torn
• Fresh basil — a handful
• Flaky sea salt — to taste

Instructions

1. Make the dough. Prepare the Italian "00" Pizza Crust Kit according to package directions. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat. Heat your oven to 500°F (or as high as it goes). If you have a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven now.
3. Shape. Stretch the dough into a 12" round on a lightly floured surface.
4. Sauce. Spread a thin, even layer of Pizza Sauce across the dough, leaving a 1" border for the crust.
5. Top. Scatter torn mozzarella evenly over the sauce.
6. Bake. Slide onto your stone or a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 8–10 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling with light char spots.
7. Finish. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with Truffle Flavored Balsamic Glaze. Top with fresh basil and a pinch of flaky salt.
8. Slice and serve. Let rest 2 minutes before cutting.

Tips

• A light drizzle of the balsamic glaze goes a long way — its truffle flavor is rich and concentrated.
• Try it on a white garlic base instead of pizza sauce to let the glaze really shine.
• Add prosciutto or arugula after baking for an extra layer of flavor.
