This is a corker of a pizza recipe and worth firing up the oven on a chilly October evening. The truffle artichoke provides woody depth whilst the pear adds a light sweet, perfumed finish. The chargrilled fennel slices combine with creamy mascarpone cheese to make a pizza combo that ticks every box. I’m in love with this one!
Method
Preheat your pizza oven to 375˚C and roll out your dough. Place onto a floured peel and start by spreading your artichoke paste around the pizza base with the base of the spoon.
Next arrange fennel slices, pear and dollops of mascarpone cheese.
Bake your pizza in the pizza oven for 2-3 mins turning every 30 seconds or so for an even crust.
Remove from the oven and top with grated truffle, fennel fronds and a cheeky drizzle of truffle oil.

The perfect pizza is a tall order, not least because ‘the perfect pizza’ is pretty subjective. For some, the perfect pizza has pineapple on it; for others, ‘perfect’ is a few basil leaves carefully placed on a Campania buffalo mozzarella and a sauce of San Marzano tomatoes grown in the fertile volcanic soil of Mount Vesuvius, all baked in a woodfired pizza oven.
But regardless of the toppings, there are definitely utensils and tools that help you cook your perfect pizza.
