Method:

  1. Preheat conventional oven to 220 Degrees Celsius or 200 Degrees Celsius if fan-assisted. 
  2. For the base sauce, rough chop ½ Amino Mantra Black Truffle & Thyme plant patty. In a bowl, add chopped up plant patty and 6 tbsps of warm water. Smash the plant patty and mix with water till it forms a smooth paste. Voila! Your Black Truffle base sauce is ready in no time.
  3. Open the gluten-free vegan pizza base and place it on a clean baking tray, lined with baking paper. Spread the Black Truffle sauce evenly across the pizza. If you want crispy edges, avoid spreading the sauce on the outer edges.
  4. Grate vegan mozzarella on the pizza base till the base is covered evenly. If you like the pizza extra cheesy, feel free to grate more cheese on top
  5. Chop up the rest of the Black Truffle & Thyme plant patties. Smashing it with your fingers, spread it evenly across the pizza. Add sliced Mushrooms, sliced Red Onions and Cherry tomato halves.
  6. Optional – Grate more cheese on top to cover the toppings and give an extra cheesy layer. 
    Lightly season the pizza with salt & pepper before baking. Bake in pre-heated oven for 15 mins or till cheese has melted and pizza base edges are golden brown.
  7. Once cooked, carefully remove the hot pizza from the tray and place it on a chopping board. Using pizza cutter, divide pizza in 8 wedges. Garnish with freshly torn basil leaves and serve piping hot.
