Instructions
- Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp active dry yeast, 1 tsp sugar, and 3/4 cup warm water (110°F). Stir gently and let sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tbsp olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Step 3: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Step 4: While dough rises, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 halved scallions and cook for 5-6 minutes until charred and softened, turning occasionally. Remove and set aside.
- Step 5: In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp olive oil and arrange thin slices of 1 large peeled russet potato in a single layer. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and tender.
- Step 6: Preheat oven to 450°F. Punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Step 7: Arrange the charred scallions and roasted potato slices evenly over the dough, sprinkle with 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary and 1/2 tsp smoked sea salt.
- Step 8: Bake for 15-18 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
