Ingredients

Pizza Dough

1 ½ cups warm water
⅓ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon instant yeast
½ teaspoon granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour 480 grams

Pizza Sauce

½ cup tomato sauce or 1/4 tomato paste +1/4 cup water
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 pinch granulated white sugar
salt and pepper (to taste)

Potato Pizza

1 potato thinly sliced *see notes
200 grams mozzarella cheese
drizzle balsamic glaze

Instructions

Pizza Sauce

Whisk all sauce ingredients together and set aside until needed.

Pizza Dough

Mix the dry ingredients and then add the wet ingredients. Mix and then knead using a stand mixer for about 5-6 minutes. If kneading the dough by hand, it'll take about 8-10 minutes to get a smooth ball of dough. Cover the dough in the bowl and set aside to rise until doubled 30-60 minutes.

Potato Pizza

Preheat oven to 450°F.
The pizza dough recipe makes enough dough for 2 regular crusts or 3 thin crusts. Divide it evenly and use portion for this recipe.
Roll out the pizza dough to your desired size. (Choose thin or thick crust and size to fit your pan).
Add half of the recipe of the pizza sauce. Spread around.
Add the cheese.
Slice the cold baked potato and layer onto the cheese.
To use an uncooked potato: Thinly slice the potato and place them in an even layer on a paper-towel lined plate. Microwave for 2-3 minutes. Flip and microwave again for 2-3 minutes or until the potatoes are very soft.
Add the potatoes on top of the pizza.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Garnish the pizza if you want to. Drizzle balsamic glaze on top and then slice the pizza. Optionally you can add chickpeas, broccoli sprouts, or chopped parsley or cilantro.

Notes

Using pre-cooked potatoes helps prevent raw potatoes on top of your pizza. You can add raw potato slices instead but in my experience, they don't always come out of the oven fully cooked when the pizza is ready.

This pizza is best as soon as you make it. Store leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days before the crust starts drying out too much. Sprinkle the crust with water before microwaving or baking to reheat.
