Ingredients

  • 2 cups Warm Water
  • 1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • 4- 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 13 cups Olive Oil
  • 4 ounces, weight Blue Cheese, Crumbled
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, At Room Temperature
  • 1/4 pounds Asparagus, Washed
  • 1 whole Lemon Thinly Sliced
  • 4 ounces, weight Prosciutto, Chopped
  • Olive Oil, For Your Hands And For Drizzling In The Skillet

Method

  • For the crust: Combine water and yeast in a small bowl.
  • Allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, add the flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low just to combine.
  • With the mixer on low, add olive oil and the yeast/water mixture, increasing to medium speed until a ball forms.
  • Remove half of the dough from the bowl.
  • Cover the bowl that has the remaining dough in it and place in refrigerator for later use.
  • Place the other half in a bowl drizzled with olive oil.
  • Allow it to rise until doubled in size.
  • For the pizza: Preheat oven to 500 F.
  • Mix the cheeses together in a bowl with a fork, making sure they are incorporated thoroughly; set aside.
  • Snap the ends off of the asparagus and discard the ends.
  • Shave the spears using a peeler or paring knife.
  • Set aside.
  • Using the risen pizza dough, spread it out with your fingers (you probably want to put some oil on your hands first) onto a 9 cast iron skillet that has been drizzled with olive oil.
  • Spread the dough across the bottom and up the sides of the skillet.
  • Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over crust.
  • Add lemon slices, prosciutto and shaved asparagus.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
  • You can make another pizza with the rest of the dough or keep in fridge for later!
