Ingredients

Dough, 2 bottoms

  • 25 gram Yeast
  • 200 gram Water lukewarm
  • 13.5 gram Oil
  • 50 gram Sieve Flour or other whole wheat flour
  • 275 gram Manitoba Flour el tipo 00 flour
  • 2.1 gram Sugar
  • 3 gram Salt

Fill

  • 1 pcs. Potato large
  • 60 gram tomato sauce or ketchup
  • 250 gram Cherry Tomatoes cut in halves
  • 1 pcs. Buffalo Mozzarella
  • 100 gram Green pesto
  • 5 gram Basil dried

Instructions

Dough

  • Crumble the yeast and dissolve it in the water. Stir in the oil.
  • Mix the two types of flour, sugar, and salt together and add to the yeast mixture.
  • Knead the dough well, for example in a mixer or with dough hooks on a hand mixer. The dough should be firm, smooth, and slightly sticky. Let it rise for one hour at room temperature in an oil-greased bowl.
  • After rising, divide the dough into two portions and roll each out with a rolling pin to 4-5 mm thick bases. Place the bases on their respective baking trays lined with baking paper.

Topping

  • While the dough is rising, you can peel and slice the potato. Boil the slices for 5 minutes until they are just tender. Drain the water and pat them dry.
  • Spread tomato sauce (or ketchup) on the pizza bases and top with potatoes and tomatoes. Cut the mozzarella into smaller pieces and distribute on the pizzas.
  • Top with dollops of pesto and a sprinkle of basil.
  • Bake the pizzas for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit) (fan oven) – bake one base at a time. Remove the pizzas and serve
