Farmer's Market Inspired Pizzas

I made three pizza doughs this morning and let them slow rise in the refrigerator until I was ready to use them for dinner. You can use any pizza dough recipe here, or even store bought. Here you will find the recipes for the three different kinds of pizza I made, you will need one ball of pizza dough for each.

Potato and Rosemary Cream Pizza with Prosicutto

ingredients:

1 ball of pizza dough

1/2 cup heavy cream

4 or 5 medium size potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Rosemary, roughly chopped

1 cup Fontina cheese, shredded

2-3 slices prosciutto

salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 500 F

Put the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl and beat with hand beaters or whisk until soft peaks form.

Roll out your pizza dough and place on a sheet pan. Spread the cream on top of the pizza dough, leaving a small border, about 1 inch. Season cream with salt and pepper.

Thinly slice the potatoes, and place in a small bowl. Add the olive oil and rosemary to the bowl, along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a few grindings of fresh pepper. Toss it all together and set aside.

Sprinkle half of the fontina all over the pizza and place the potatoes on top in a single layer, overlapping a little to cover the pizza. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and then pull the prosciutto into smaller strips and scatter over the top.

Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
