Pizza with Young Potatoes

I still remember with what curiosity and pride my grandmother dug up the first potato tubers in the field in June and wiped them on the grass… the first potatoes announce the season, the beginning of summer, and the pride of the grower. Why not take the lead role and become the crown of the dish, as in this unusual pizza.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 20 g Yeast, dry

  • pieces Water

  • 0.5 kg Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • pieces Oil, olive

  • 3 pieces Potatoes, white

  • pieces Salt, table

  • pieces Spices, pepper, black

  • pieces Cheese, Gorgonzola

  • pieces Dry salami, paprika

Steps

  1. Crumble the yeast into 1 dl of lukewarm water and mix. Sift the flour into a bowl, add salt, mix, then make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Start mixing slowly. Add another 2.5 dl of lukewarm water to form a soft and pliable dough that is elastic and soft to the touch like a baby's cheek. Cover and let it rise for about an hour.

  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible. If you have a pizza stone, use it; otherwise, a flat baking tray will also work. Thoroughly scrub the young potatoes, then slice them thinly, about 1 to 2 mm thick.

  3. On a floured work surface, divide the risen pizza dough into four portions. Roll each one out thinly, place on the baking tray, and brush with a thin layer of oil. Arrange the potato slices on the dough, placing them side by side. Season with salt and pepper. Bake in the hot oven for 5 to 10 minutes until the dough sets and the potatoes start to brown.

  4. Once the potatoes are browned, top the pizza with crumbled blue cheese or a few slices of spicy salami. Return to the oven for another 3 minutes to finish baking.

  5. Serve the pizza with a glass of cold beer.
