Puff Pastry Truffle Pizza (Printable Version)

Crispy puff pastry topped with figs, goat cheese, truffle oil, and honey for a savory-sweet bite.

# What You'll Need:

→ Puff Pastry Base

01 - 1 sheet thawed puff pastry (approx. 8.8 oz)

→ Toppings

02 - 4 to 5 fresh figs, sliced
03 - 4.2 oz crumbled goat cheese
04 - 1 tablespoon truffle oil
05 - 2 tablespoons honey
06 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
07 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
08 - Sea salt, to taste
09 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Score a 0.4 inch border around the edges, taking care not to cut through completely.
03 - Lightly brush the entire pastry except the border with olive oil.
04 - Arrange the sliced figs evenly over the pastry interior, leaving the scored border clear.
05 - Scatter the crumbled goat cheese over the figs and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves if using.
06 - Drizzle half of the truffle oil over the toppings. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and fully puffed.
08 - Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the remaining truffle oil and honey over the warm pizza.
09 - Slice and serve immediately to preserve crispness and fresh flavors.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen but honestly takes less time than ordering takeout.
  • The contrast between crispy pastry and soft, jammy figs creates something genuinely craveable.
  • Truffle oil does the heavy lifting—suddenly everything tastes sophisticated without breaking a sweat.
02 -
  • If your puff pastry is still cold when you arrange toppings, everything slides around—let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes first.
  • Drizzling the honey while the pastry is warm makes it melt and distribute instead of sitting on top like glue, which is the difference between elegant and messy.
03 -
  • Don't thaw your puff pastry in the microwave—room temperature thawing takes 30 minutes and prevents it from getting rubbery.
  • If you have a few minutes before serving, let the finished pizza rest for just 2–3 minutes; the flavors settle and everything becomes more cohesive.
