Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 3 minutes

Ingredients

  • 25 gram Yeast
  • 200 gram Water
  • 18 gram Coarse salt
  • 56 gram Oil
  • 600 gram Flour wheat flour, pizza flour, or tipo 00
  • 500 gram Potato
  • 9 gram Rosemary fresh, chopped
  • 28 gram Olive Oil
  • Spices salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Pizza Dough:

  • Mix lukewarm water, yeast, salt, and oil in a bowl and stir until the yeast is dissolved.
  • Gradually add the flour until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise for at least 2 hours at room temperature under a shower cap.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 4 pieces, being careful not to deflate the dough.
  • Roll the dough as thin as possible; if necessary, pick up the dough and stretch it over your hands so that it naturally stretches thin.

  • Mashed Potatoes:

  • Peel the potatoes, cut them into smaller pieces, and boil them until tender in water without salt.
  • Mash the boiled potatoes with a bit of the cooking water and season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and chopped rosemary.

  • Topping:

  • When I made this recipe with pork cheeks, I froze two of them.
  • I took them out of the freezer in the morning and shredded them with two forks before putting them on the pizza. They are pre-cooked, so the oven's heat just needs to reheat them, not cook them. This could also be done with other braised meats, such as shoulder, brisket, or lean meat.
  • Spread the mashed potatoes on the pizza bases in a thin layer, and distribute the meat on top.
  • Then, I added grated cheese and Tricolor Sage (multicolored sage, regular can also be used).
  • The pizzas were baked for 3 minutes at 275 degrees Celsius (527 degrees Fahrenheit) on a baking steel.
