Puff Pastry Truffle Pizza (Printable)

Luxurious puff pastry with truffle oil, figs, goat cheese, and a honey drizzle.

# What You'll Need:

→ Puff Pastry Base

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

→ Toppings

02 - 4–5 fresh figs, sliced
03 - 4.2 oz crumbled goat cheese
04 - 1 tbsp truffle oil
05 - 2 tbsp honey
06 - 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
07 - 1 tbsp olive oil

09 - Sea salt, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Roll out the puff pastry sheet on the prepared baking sheet. Score a 0.4-inch border around the edges without cutting through.
03 - Brush the entire pastry, excluding the border, lightly with olive oil.
04 - Arrange the sliced figs evenly over the pastry, leaving the 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 for 18 to 20 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed.
08 - Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with the remaining truffle oil and honey while still warm.
09 - Slice the pastry and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks effortlessly fancy but actually takes less time than ordering takeout.
  • The contrast of crispy, creamy, sweet, and savory makes every single bite interesting.
  • Works as an elegant appetizer, casual lunch, or the kind of thing you bring to impress at a dinner party.
02 -
  • Don't skip scoring the border—it's the difference between a regular pastry and one that puffs dramatically and looks restaurant-quality.
  • Add the truffle oil and honey after baking, not before—the heat would make them bitter and you'd lose that luxurious finish.
  • Serve immediately while the pastry is still crackling; it becomes soft and chewy if it sits too long.
03 -
  • Thaw your puff pastry the night before in the fridge—it handles better and puffs more evenly than room-temperature pastry.
  • If your figs are very firm, you can roast them for five minutes first to intensify their sweetness and make them slightly softer.
  • Make the pastry border line deeper than you think you need to—it really does create that elegant frame when it puffs.
