Basic Potato Pizza Dough: An Irish recipe for a yeasted pizza base made from a blend of potatoes and white bread flour.
Ingredients:
155g potatoes
345g strong white bread flour
1 tsp (heaped) salt
1 tsp active, dried, yeast
1 tsp sugar
185ml lukewarm water
1 tbsp olive oil
Method:
Scrub the potatoes, then boil in their skins for about 35 minutes, or until tender. Drain and allow to cool until they can be handled then peel.
Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the yeast, sugar and just enough water to blend to a smooth paste. Cover and set aside for about 10 minutes, or until frothy.
Pass the potatoes through a fine-meshed sieve directly into the flour. Now stir in the yeast, along with the lukewarm water. Mix the ingredients together into a soft dough, then turn out onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly-oiled bowl and cover with clingfilm (plastic wrap). Place in a warm spot for 45 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in volume.
Knock the dough back and knead briefly.
Oil a 30cm diameter pizza tin. Sit the dough in the centre and press out to the edges, using your knuckles. Brush the surface of the dough with oil and top as you like (try a tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese rounds and basil for a classic topping).
Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 220°C and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
Serve hot, cut into wedges.
