Asparagus Dijon Mustard Pizza
Mustard on a Pizza is a big craze, but we have been doing it for years. It intensifies the flavours and this delicious asparagus and anchovies pizza is a simple and easy way to create a starter, snack or to simply impress.
Ingredients
For the pizza base:
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the toppings:
- 100 grams asparagus tips
- 30 grams drained anchovies in oil
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon Maille Dijon Originale Mustard with White Wine
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation
For the pizza dough:
- In a bowl, combine the water, yeast and sugar. Let stand until the mixture foams on top, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl combine the flour and salt, you can also add to a mixer with the plastic dough hook. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a soft ball forms.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for a few minutes on a floured surface to prevent sticking.
- Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let the dough rise for about 30 minutes in warm and draft-free area. Cut the dough in half. For this recipe you will only need one half, you can refrigerate the other half for 48 hours or you can freeze it and use another time.
- Roll out the remaining dough on a flat floured surface with a rolling pin making sure you leave a thicker crust on the edges.
For the topping
- Smear the base with the Maille Dijon original mustard.
- cut the asparagus length wise and scatter on the base evenly
- Scatter the anchovies over the base and sprinkle with the oregano
- Drizzle the olive oil over the top and place in a preheated oven at 200°C for at least 10 minutes or until the crust turns golden and the base is crispy
Maille Tip: It is best to put your oven on the base only element setting and use a pizza crisper pan for a Neapolitan style pizza
