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.
- 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.
