Grilled truffle flatbread pizza

Inspired by the fact that I promised a recipe from the last post from my truffle class, this pizza is through and through a mushroom explosion.
I start with a truffle crust using unbleached flour and truffle flour. 93002_white_truffle_flour
Then, I make my own flatbread crust on the grill and add savory toppings to compliment the truffle crust and truffle oil.
