Nasturtium Pizza

Ingredients for Nasturtium Pizza

• 240ml warm water

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan

• 1 (5g) packet active dried yeast (about 1 1/4 teaspoons )

• 325g high-gluten strong flour

• 130g semolina flour,* plus more for dusting

• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

• 170g nasturtium flowers

• *If you can't find semolina, substitute high-gluten strong flour.

• About 45ml extra-virgin olive oil

• 80ml herb flower pesto

• About 60g (110g) goat cheese

• 40g nasturtium flowers

• Other toppings of your choice

1. Put warm water, sugar, and oil in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add yeast and let it sit for 10 minutes, until mixture foams. In a medium bowl, stir to combine flours, salt, and nasturtium flowers. Sprinkle flour mixture into yeast mixture. Mix on low speed for 5 minutes, until dough is smooth and bouncy. Cover the bowl with a cotton kitchen towel and let stand for about 1 hour, or until dough has doubled in volume.

2. Turn dough onto a surface dusted with flour and knead by pushing it away from your body with the heel of your hand, folding it over, and repeating about 12 times. Divide dough into two balls. At this point, dough can be baked or stored for up to 2 days in the refrigerator on a baking sheet covered with plastic wrap.

3. Preheat oven to 232°C. Rub two baking sheets with olive oil and dust with semolina flour. Stretch out each dough ball by tapping and pressing outward from the centre with your fingertips. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Cover with toppings of your choice. Bake pizzas for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking so the dough browns evenly. Slice, serve, and enjoy.
