Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 package active dry yeast
Pinch of sugar
cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
3 cups all-purpose or bread flour (approximately)
Cornmeal
8 medium asparagus
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded Italian Fontina cheese
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast and sugar in water and set aside to proof for about five minutes. Pour yeast mixture into a bowl, add salt, olive oil, pepper and two cups of flour. Mix well. Add some of the remaining flour, in two or three portions, until the dough begins to leave the sides of the bowl. You should have some flour left.
  • Dust a work surface with some of the remaining flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead until it is very smooth and elastic, kneading in additional flour as necessary.
  • Place the dough in a large lightly oiled bowl. Turn the dough to oil the top, cover loosely and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour at room temperature. Punch the dough down.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place oven rack in the lowest position. Dust a lightly oiled baking sheet or pizza stone with cornmeal.
  • Divide the dough into four portions and roll or stretch each to form an eight-inch circle, leaving a thicker border.
  • Snap off the bottom ends of the asparagus and peel the bottom half of each. Slice each asparagus in half lengthwise, then cut each piece in half.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the circles of dough, then arrange the asparagus pieces, cut side down, in a pattern on each. Sprinkle with Fontina and Gorgonzola.
  • Bake pizzas about 15 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese is bubbling. Serve at once.

I've made this pizza several times now and it's always a hit! The asparagus is always roasted perfectly and the goat cheese and lemon zest add a really unique flavor. I highly recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I thought this pizza was really good! The goat cheese and lemon zest really balanced out the flavor of the asparagus. I would definitely make this again.

This pizza was just okay. The asparagus was a bit tough and the goat cheese was too overpowering. I would not recommend this recipe.

This pizza was a bit too tangy for my taste, but my husband loved it. The asparagus was roasted well and the goat cheese was creamy and melted perfectly. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who enjoys tangy pizzas.
