Method

  • 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.
  • 13.
    Serve pizzas sprinkled with pine nuts.
