Perfect for vegetarians and lovers of authentic Italian cuisine, Potato Pizza is an easy, flavorful way to elevate your pizza night!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, dry yeast, and salt. Gradually add water while mixing, until a dough forms.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dough and knead for 8-10 minutes on a lightly floured surface until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for at least 1 to 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them very thinly (about 1-2 mm) using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Place the potato slices in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle or circle, depending on your preference, about 1 cm thick. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Arrange the slices in a single layer over the dough, slightly overlapping them.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with minced garlic and brush this mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Sprinkle fresh rosemary leaves, black pepper, and half a teaspoon of salt over the top.
Bake the pizza in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the potatoes are tender and slightly crisp around the edges.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
