Serves: 4
Preparation time: 25min (plus 30min proving time)
Cooking time: 20-21min
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar with ½tsp salt and 400ml hand hot water (tepid water). Mix into a dough, tip the dough out onto the work surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Return to the bowl, cover loosely with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 30min or until it has doubled in size.
- Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the potatoes and simmer for 5-6min until just soft. Add the asparagus for one minute, then drain and refresh in cold water. Beat the ricotta.
- Preheat the oven to 220ºC, Fan oven 220ºC, Gas Mark 7. Dust a couple of baking trays with a little flour. Divide the dough into 4 and roll out or hand stretch as thinly as you can.
- Spread with the ricotta mixture, top with the potato slices, asparagus, mange tout and peas. Then scatter over both the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and bake for 12-15min until golden and the base is crisp. Serve hot, drizzled with extra olive oil and the pea shoots.
Cook’s tip: You can make 1 large, 2 or 4 individual pizzas, just divide the dough accordingly. A large one may take slightly longer to cook.
