Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 giant puffball, fresh
  • Olive oil

Tomato sauce

  • 1 (400 grams) canned chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon oregano, dried
  • A small handful of basil leaves

Topping

  • 1 bag shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Topping of your choice (ham, pepperoni, chicken, truffle, vegetables)

Instructions

Tomato sauce

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  • Set aside.

Crust

  • Preheat oven to 250 C / 480 F
  • Clean the giant puffball and cut away any bad parts. Cut the puffball into slices of about 1 cm (0.4 inches). The giant puffball should be solid and white when cut through.
  • Over high heat, add olive oil to a large frying pan and place one or two slices of giant puffball (depending on the size) and fry until golden-brown on both sides. Add more olive oil if necessary.

Make the mini pizzas

  • Place the fried slices of giant puffball onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Spread out a thin layer of tomato sauce on top of each slice, add shredded cheese and topping of your choice.
  • Bake the mini pizzas in the oven until the cheese has melted (approximately 5-10 minutes). Serve immediately.
