Preparation

Get these tasks done before you start cooking.

Making the Dough

1
Dissolve Yeast
In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2
Combine Ingredients
Add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Stir to combine, then knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes.
Tip: Allow the dough to rest if it becomes too elastic to roll out easily.
3
First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Preparing the Toppings

1
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside if you have one.
2
Infuse Goat Cheese
Stir the truffle oil into the goat cheese to combine.
Tip: Do not overheat the truffle oil to preserve its flavor.
3
Prep Toppings
Chop the tarragon, and thinly slice the mushrooms.
