Pizza Primavera

The 'Primavera' (Spring) pizza celebrates nature's rebirth. There is no set recipe, the point is to use the market's freshest, tenderest vegetables: asparagus, spring onions, baby courgettes. This pizza is about colours and crunchy textures. Light, vitamin-packed, and beautiful – like a spring meadow on your plate.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 230-250°C. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus, cut the courgette and pepper into strips/rounds.

Tip: If the asparagus is thicker, drop it into boiling salted water for 1 minute, then cool it down. This ensures it softens on the pizza.
2

Roll out the dough, spread with the tomato sauce, sprinkle with oregano and a little salt.

Tip: Oregano is tomato sauce's best friend.
3

Distribute the vegetables in a colourful cavalcade on the dough.

Tip: Don't crowd everything together, let the dough show through too.
4

Tear the mozzarella over the vegetables/on top.

Tip: The cheese will 'anchor' the vegetables.
5

Drizzle with oil, bake for 10-15 minutes.

Tip: The high heat bakes the dough quickly while the vegetables just roast.
6

Remove, garnish with basil and serve.

Tip: A fresh, spring scent cloud!

Recipe FAQ

Do I need to cook the vegetables?
It is worth par-boiling (blanching) the asparagus and green beans in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then putting them in iced water so they keep their bright green colour and don't remain hard on the pizza.
Can I use frozen vegetables?
Better not. Frozen vegetables release a lot of water and become soft. The essence of Primavera is freshness.
