Ingredients
Cream Cheese, Parmesan and Herb Pizza
- For the dough
- ½ cube Yeast (21 grams)
- 1 pinch sugar
- 400 grams Pastry flour
- 4 Tbsps olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- Pastry flour (for the work surface)
- For the topping
- 400 grams cream cheese
- 100 grams sour Whipped cream
- 2 egg yolks
- 120 grams grated Parmesan
- salt
- peppers
- To garnish
- 1 handful Fresh herbs (such as burnet, wild arugula, purslane, hyssop)
- 1 handful Edible flowers (such as pansies, borage, nasturtium)
For the dough: Crumble the yeast into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook, stir in the sugar and 200 ml (approximately 1 cup) of lukewarm water and mix to combine. Add the flour, olive oil and salt and knead to a smooth dough. Cover and let stand in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 240°C (approximately 475°F) convection. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
For the topping: In a bowl, stir together the half the cream cheese, the sour cream, egg yolks and half of the Parmesan until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide the dough into 4 balls. On a floured work surface shape each ball into a 22 cm (approximately 8-inch) round and thinly roll out and place on the baking sheets. Top with the cream cheese mixture, spreading it out and bake until golden brown, 10-15 minutes.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Spread the remaining cream cheese over and serve garnished with herbs and edible flowers.
