※ Potato & Feta Pizza

INGREDIENTS
* 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
* 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F)
* 3 1/2 cups Italian 000 Flour, plus additional for rolling dough
* 2 teaspoons kosher salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
* 1 scant tablespoon honey
* 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, + some for coating the bowl/greasing the trays
* 2 Medium sized potatoes
* Small jar of tomato paste
* 1 block of feta cheese / alternately Boursin*
* Fresh rosemary
* Oregano (dried)
* Freshly cracked pepper & Salt

Boursin is a brand of Gournay cheese. It is a soft creamy cheese available in a variety of flavours, with a flavor and texture somewhat similar to cream cheese. I use the garlic & herb

METHOD
In a large bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.

Using a sieve or strainer, "sift" about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and blend until smooth with your hands. Add the salt, pepper and honey and mix to blend. Sift in the remaining flour and mix to blend.

Lightly flour a cutting board or flat surface. Turn the pizza dough onto the floured area and knead for 3 to 5 minutes. The flour should feel smooth and the ingredients fully integrated. Place the dough inside a lightly oiled large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place, about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume.

Press gently on the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, rolling each quarter into a loose ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for an additional 15 minutes. Flatten each ball, 1at a time, and roll into a 6-inch round. Place each round in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. (I made two large rectangular pizzas this time.)

Slice potatoes thinly, boil in salted water fror approx 10 mins.

Drain and dry.

Dress pizza base: I used tomato paste, oregano, pepper & salt.

Place sliced potato, and crumble over Feta or Boursin. Sprinkle with freshly chopped rosemary to taste.

Bake in hot oven approx 220 degrees fan-forced for 15 - 20 minutes, till base is crispy and top is slightly browned.
