Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas 7.

Step 2

Place the flours and yeast in a large bowl. Mix together the milk, oil and 125ml warm water, pour over the flour and bring together to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-6 minutes until smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, simmer the potatoes in lightly salted water for 5 minutes. Drain.

Step 5

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Cut the dough in two and shape each piece into a 23cm circle, approximately ½-1cm thick, and place on a heavy baking sheet.

Step 7

Prepare the topping, adding the rosemary, thyme, creme fraiche and pepper to the potatoes and divide between the bases. Set aside for 5 minutes, then bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp and golden.

Recipe tips

Scatter the cooked pizza with a handful of fresh rocket leaves and a dash of balsamic vinegar or a few chopped cherry tomatoes and a couple of chopped spring onions.
Try spreading 1 tsp curry paste over the pizza base before cooking.
