CloseMethod
-
1.Combine yeast, sugar, oil and 2 2/3 cups (660ml) lukewarm water in a jug. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes or until frothy.
-
2.Sift flours and 1 tsp salt onto a clean work surface and make a well in the centre. Add yeast mixture to well and fork the flour in gradually from the sides.
-
3.When the mixture starts to come together, use your hands to combine and form a dough. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and springy.
-
4.Shape dough into a ball and place in a large bowl lightly dusted with flour. Dust the top of dough with flour. Cover with a damp tea towel and set aside in a warm place for 1-1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
-
5.Meanwhile, for the topping, place potatoes in a pan of cold salted water over high heat. Bring to the boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until soft. Drain and set aside to steam dry.
-
6.Heat 2 tbs oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until soft and sweet.
-
7.Add the potatoes and remaining 2 tsp oil, gently squashing potatoes with a potato masher. Season well and set aside to cool.
-
8.Preheat the oven to 250°C.
-
9.Transfer the dough to a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour and knock back. Divide dough into 6 pieces, then roll out each piece to a 5mm-thick round.
-
10.Divide potato mixture evenly among pizza bases, spreading it out to the edges, then divide Taleggio among bases.
-
11.Using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline, slice zucchini into ribbons and drape over the top of each base. Season, then drizzle with olive oil.
-
12.In 2 batches, bake pizzas on 3 baking trays dusted with semolina flour, swapping top and bottom trays halfway, for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp.
