Preparation
Level of difficulty:
Hobby cook
- Sift the flour into a bowl. Crumble the yeast and mix with a little sugar in 250 ml of lukewarm water. Mix with the flour to make a starter and leave for approx. 10 minutes. Then knead with olive oil and salt until you have a smooth dough and place in a warm place for approx. 15 min.
- Wash and peel the asparagus and chop off the ends. Cut the asparagus length-ways into fine strips and cook in boiling water with salt and sugar for approx. 2 minutes. Then remove and drain. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 250 °C.
- Split the dough into four, roll each piece in a little flour and place on an oiled baking sheet. Cover with the tomato passata and season with salt and pepper. Bake the pizzas on the bottom shelf of the oven for approx. 8 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the Tiroler Speck PGI into fine stripes, the mozzarella into cubes and finely grate the pecorino.
- Spread the pizzas with mozzarella, fine ham strips and asparagus and bake for another 4 minutes. Remove and dress with rocket and pecorino. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and serve.
