If I had to eat one thing every day for the rest of my life, it would be pizza. It's a perfect food, satisfying on every level. With a glass of icy-cold white wine, this rivals any of the fanciest meals I've ever enjoyed.
For me, just-right-crust is thin and crisp at its edges with a soft, chewy pull at the thickest parts. I don't like pizza with too much sauce. And please don't put pineapple on mine. I like it hot or cold, in a lovely restaurant, or standing over the sink in my boxer shorts. Pizza cannot disappoint.
One of my all-time favourites is a simple, sauceless crust with potatoes. Starch times two is fine by me. Yukon Golds sliced thinly with a mandolin and layered atop lightly-oiled dough. Fresh rosemary, torn roughly from the sprig, and big flakey chunks of Maldon. A grate of fresh parmesan and a light douse of oil over the top and into a 500°F oven for 15 minutes until the crust is blistered and golden. Serve with an ultra-basic salad of mâche (nutty and mild) with a lemon-mustard vinaigrette. Yum.






Oh my, just how I like it...thin and crispy...and potato and rosemary...I think I have died and gone to heaven!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried potatoes on pizza but may just have to as that looks very tasty! My favorite pizza's are those from a wood fired oven - yum!
ReplyDeleteExcellent pics. Sure beats my leftovers for lunch. Mind you, it's leftover gnocchi. (ok, that was the last dig - I promise)
