Instructions
Make the topping: Preheat the oven to 400℉. Arrange the potato slices on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, ⅔ of the rosemary, and a few cracks of salt. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown in color. They will cook more while on the pizza.
Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 550℉ or as high as the oven will go. Allow to preheat for 1 hour. If you do not have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet instead. If using a baking sheet, preheat the oven to 450℉.
Making the Pizza: Place the dough on a lightly floured counter. Divide into 2 balls of dough. With your fingers, press the middle of the dough down and out slightly towards the edges. Flip and do the same on the other side. Then create the crust by pressing the air from the middle of the dough out towards the edge and pinch to seal the air into the crust. Place the dough over your two fists and stretch out the dough until it is thin.
Assembling the Pizza: Dust a small amount of flour on a pizza peel. Stretch the pizza dough over the pizza peel so that one edge hangs off the peel by about ½ an inch. Add half of the mozzarella, half of the sliced potatoes, and half of the remaining minced rosemary. Add another drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of Maldon sea salt flakes over the pizza.Slide the pizza from the pizza peel onto the pizza stone by placing the ½ inch hanging off the edge of the pizza peel onto the pizza stone and in one quick motion sliding the pizza off the peel.
Bake for 7-10 minutes depending on your oven and pizza stone. Use a pair of tongs to help pull the pizza back onto the pizza peel. Repeat with the remaining pizza and toppings.
