Treat your ingredients with care...
- Liquid nitrogen — Handle with care and use protective gloves and goggles.
- Soy lecithin — Use a high-quality brand for best results.
- Edible gold flakes — Use sparingly as a garnish.
Tips & Tricks
- For a more traditional pizza flavor, use a classic tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese instead of the basil foam and sous-vide mushrooms.
- Experiment with different toppings, such as prosciutto, arugula, or truffle oil.
- If you don't have access to liquid nitrogen, you can still make a delicious New York-style pizza by using a hot oven and a pizza stone.
Serving advice
Serve the pizza hot and crispy, straight out of the oven. Cut into slices and enjoy with a glass of red wine.
Presentation advice
Arrange the pizza slices on a wooden board or a slate platter. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of edible gold flakes.
