Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (200g)
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast (3g)
  • 1/2 cup warm water (120ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for brushing and drizzling, 30ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar (2g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (2g)
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 7 oz/200g), trimmed and sliced into ribbons
  • 3.5 oz goat cheese (100g), crumbled
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (60g)
  • 2 small cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Extra olive oil for brushing and drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir until the dough comes together (it will be shaggy). Knead briefly in the bowl for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest in a warm spot for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven now.
  3. While dough rests, wash and trim asparagus. Use a vegetable peeler to shave stalks into thin ribbons. Slice garlic thinly, zest the lemon, crumble goat cheese, and measure mozzarella.
  4. Lightly flour your work surface. Stretch or pat the dough into a rough rectangle or oval, about 12×8 inches. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Brush dough with olive oil. Sprinkle with mozzarella, arrange asparagus ribbons, tuck in garlic slices, and scatter goat cheese on top. Sprinkle with lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
  6. Bake for 14-18 minutes, until crust is golden and crisp, cheese is bubbling, and asparagus tips are crisp.
  7. Remove from oven and drizzle with a little more olive oil. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For best results, use pencil-thin asparagus and avoid overloading toppings. The dough is forgiving—embrace a rustic shape. For a gluten-free version, use a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend. To make vegan, use dairy-free cheeses. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat crisply in the oven.
