Ingredients
- 0.5 cube Yeast
- 400 g flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- flour (for working surface)
- 500 g white asparagus

Instructions
-
1.
Dissolve the yeast in 200 ml lukewarm water. Mix the flour with the salt, place it in a bowl, press a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil, and knead by hand into a smooth dough. If the dough is too wet, add more flour; if it’s too dry, add a little more lukewarm water.
-
2.
Knead the dough on a floured work surface for about 10 minutes, return it to the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour.
-
3.
Meanwhile, peel the white asparagus completely and only the lower third of the green asparagus; cut off the woody ends. Blanch the white asparagus in boiling salted water with a pinch of sugar for about 15 minutes and the green asparagus for about 8 minutes. Drain, shock in cold water, let drain, and split the spears lengthwise.

4.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) with upper and lower heat.

5.
Knead the dough again briefly and roll it into four flat discs. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, sprinkle with Parmesan, top with asparagus, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for about 15 minutes in the hot oven.
-
6.
Distribute the Parma ham over the finished pizzas, drizzle once more with olive oil, season with crushed pepper, and serve garnished with basil.
