Ingredients

  • 1 ball pizza dough about 12–14 inches
  • 1/2 cup white sauce béchamel or alfredo style
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 6 –8 fresh asparagus spears blanched and cut into halves
  • 4 slices prosciutto baked or pan-crisped
  • 1 tbsp white truffle oil
  • 1 tsp olive oil for brushing dough
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone inside.
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
  • Brush the dough lightly with olive oil.
  • Spread an even layer of white sauce over the base, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan cheeses evenly on top.
  • Arrange blanched asparagus spears across the pizza in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Break crispy prosciutto into pieces and scatter them evenly.
  • Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  • Remove from the oven, then drizzle with white truffle oil while hot.
  • Finish with freshly cracked black pepper and a sprinkle of sea salt if desired. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cheese Swap: Try fontina or taleggio instead of mozzarella for extra richness.
  • Truffle Oil Tip: Use sparingly—truffle oil is very aromatic and can overpower the pizza.
  • Make Ahead: Blanch asparagus and crisp prosciutto a day before for faster assembly.
  • Pairing Suggestion: Serve with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a sparkling prosecco for the ultimate gourmet night in.
