- After 3 hours, transfer the dough to the fridge to sit overnight until 1 hour before the class.
1 Hour Before Cooking

- Let the dough rest for 30 minutes, then spread it to cover the bottom of the sheet tray evenly.
To Cook 🍳
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and spread the chiffonade basil on top. Finish with another touch of Balinese Truffle Salt and enjoy while warm!
Note from the Chef 👩🍳
This class includes Nonna’s Truffle Tomato Sauce. We’ve shared the recipe below so you can recreate it in your own kitchen.
Nonna’s Truffle Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons red chili flakes
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 cup red wine (We like Cabernet Sauvignon)
1 32 ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
2 cups water
1 bunch basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped Truffle Carpaccio
Balinese Truffle Salt
To make
In a large pot over medium-low heat, stir together the olive oil and chili flakes for 2 minutes. Add the onions and a pinch of Balinese Truffle Salt and continue stirring until the onions are translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine to deglaze and continue stirring until nearly all of the wine has evaporated. Add the canned tomatoes, along with 2 cups of water. Turn the heat to high to bring the sauce to a boil, then adjust to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours.
Use a blender (immersion works well) to blend the reduced sauce until very smooth. Transfer to a storage container and season generously with Balinese Truffle Salt. Fold in the Truffle Carpaccio and basil while the sauce is still warm. Allow to steep at room temperature overnight, then store in your refrigerator.
