Preparation:

Preparing ingredients

1 Cut the cheese into cubes, 2 cut two slices of speck into strips for decoration and then 3 peel and cut the potatoes into cubes.

Pre-cooking potatoes

4 Brown the potatoes in a pan with a little oil and salt over medium-high heat. 5 When they are well browned, even if not cooked, add a little pepper and oregano and keep them ready to fill the pizza. 6 Spread the puff pastry sheet on the baking tray with the baking paper underneath and make it adhere to the bottom and edges.

Pizza preparation and cooking

7 Break the speck into pieces with your hands and distribute it on the pizza, also distribute the potatoes and the cheese cubes. 8 Finally add the remaining speck on top as decoration and 9 fold the edges of the puff pastry inwards. Bake in a static oven preheated to 180°C for 40 minutes. Once cooked, remove the rustic pizza from the baking paper onto a large plate and enjoy!

Advise

  • Be careful with mozzarella : if you use mozzarella, dry the excess liquid on absorbent paper otherwise the puff pastry may not cook due to excessive humidity.
  • Be patient : once baked, let your rustic pizza cool down a little so that the puff pastry can acquire the right consistency.
