New Potato Rosemary Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Heat a pan of water, tip in the potato slices and simmer for 5 mins until just cooked through. Drain really well. Tip into a bowl with the olive oil and rosemary. Mix together well so that the potatoes are completely coated in the oil.
• Place the pizza bases on a baking sheet. Scatter the cheese over the pizza base, then arrange the potato mixture on top. Season with salt and pepper, then bake for 20 mins, until the pizza base is golden and the potatoes are starting to brown.

Steps:

• For the dough: In a medium bowl, mix the yeast with warm water and let sit for 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, sugar and salt, and whisk. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose and whole wheat flours. Make a hole in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture. Slowly hand mix the flour until all the liquid is absorbed. If too wet, add more flour, 1/4 cup at a time. Sprinkle a clean work station with flour and knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Coat a large ceramic bowl with the remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the ceramic bowl, and flip over to coat in the oil. Cover the top of the dough with plastic wrap and cover the bowl with a dish towel. Let rise until the dough has doubled in size, 2 hours. Punch down the dough and let rise for another hour.
• For the toppings: Using a mandoline, slice the potatoes and onion. Roughly chop the rosemary leaves.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Grease the pizza pan with the leaf lard.
• Mold the dough into the shape of the pan. Brush with some olive oil. Place the pizza on the bottom oven rack for 5 minutes, to pre-crisp the crust. Add two layers of the potatoes in a scallop style. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper and drizzle with some olive oil.
• Sprinkle with the rosemary and drizzle with more olive oil. Place on the middle oven rack and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven. Immediately remove the pizza from the pan and cut into rectangles.

Steps:

• Combine the water, sugar and yeast in a small jug; stand in a warm place for about 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes frothy.
• Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl, add the yeaast mixture; mix to form a soft dough; knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes or until it is smooth and elastic; place the dough in a lightly greased large bowl; cover; stand in a warm place for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced/400°F/6 gas mark and grease two oven trays.large enough to accommodate two18cm x 30cm (7 inch x 12 inch) pizzas.
• Divide the dough in half; roll each portion into a two18cm x 30cm (7 inch x 12 inch) rectangle; place the rectangle of dough onto the two oven trays; brush the pizza bases with half of the olive oil.
• Combine the potatoes, garlic, rosemary thyme (and/or whatever other herbs you are adding), sea salt, black pepper (and bacon if using) and the remaining oil in a medium-sized bowl; layer the potato mixture over the pizza bases.
