Sweet and Salty Truffle Oil and Brie Pizza

This pizza is like the culinary equivalent of a VIP party with all your celebrity crushes and a bottle of wine, but in pizza form.

Brie is like that smooth operator who always knows the right thing to say, bacon is the bad boy with a heart of gold, and orange marmalade is the wild card that keeps things interesting. And just when you think things couldn’t get any better, truffle oil comes in and takes it to the next level, like a surprise Beyoncé cameo at a Jay-Z concert. It’s almost too good to be true.

Oh yeah, the “orange” component of this dish is this ridiculous orange marmalade that has chunks of peel and isn’t overly sweet. The usual salty sweet combination on pizza uses figs, which I totally love, but this was fun to shake things up even more.

Don’t worry if truffle oil is hard to come by, this pizza is still fancy and delicious without it. The crust is homemade and super easy to make, even if you’re not a pro in the kitchen. Plus, using a pizza stone ensures the perfect crust every time.

Description

This pizza is like the culinary equivalent of a threesome with your two celebrity crushes and a bottle of wine, but in pizza form.


Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Crust

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups flour

Toppings

  • 1 4 oz wedge brie cheese (diced into ½ inch pieces)
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 slices thick cut pepper bacon (cooked and roughly crumbled)
  • 23 tbsp orange marmalade
  • 1 tbsp white truffle oil
  • 6 large leaves basil (chiffonade)

Instructions

  1. Gently whisk the water, yeast, and sugar together. Let sit until proofed and foamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and olive oil and mix until combined.
  3. Using the dough hook on your standing mixer, slowly add the flour, ½ cup at a time, until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is no longer sticky.
  4. Using the dough hook, knead the dough for 4 minutes. Let rest for 3 minutes. Knead for another 4 minutes.
  5. Coat a bowl with olive oil, add the dough, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with saran wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  6. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees. Put your pizza stone in the oven and let sit for 20 minutes.
  7. When done rising, roll the dough out until ¼-1/2 inch thick, leaving the edges a little thicker to make a crust.
  8. Remove pizza stone from oven and carefully transfer the crust to the stone. Top with mozzarella cheese, brie cheese, and bacon. Evenly drizzle orange marmalade over the top.
  9. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until crust is just golden and cheese is melted.
  10. Let cool for 5 minutes, then top with basil and drizzle white truffle oil over the top.

Notes

Be careful not to overcook the bacon since you’ll be cooking it again in the oven. Cook until just crispy.
To make drizzling the marmalade easier, spoon into a plastic bag and cut the corner. Squeeze onto pizza.
