Smokey Sweet Potato On Thin Crust Pizza

Sometimes days can be too exhausting to even think about cooking. To make it worse the takeout ads that find their way through our doors are extremely tempting when you are tired and it's dark and gloomy outside. I would however dare any delivery service to beat me at the speed of making this dish. It takes 20 minutes from loose ingredients to tasty, warm food on your plate. And did I say it is surprisingly similar to pizza but without the yeast and the wait for the dough to rise. This sweet potato on thin crust pizza cheers most people up due to the fact that is pizza with a different twist, totally guilt free and healthy.

In all fairness this will never make a deep dish pizza. This is for thin crust style dough, but it can still go with any topping that you would want on a pizza. In this case I chose thinly sliced sweet potatoes with different seasonings.

Instructions

 

• Preheat the Oven to 220°C / 450°F.
  
  
• You can do this next step by hand but I promised a 20 minute meal so it's time to pull the gadgets out. Pour the flour, oil and water into the food processor and mix at high speed until a dough ball is formed. Place it onto a floured surface and roll it out thinly. Transfer it onto a baking tray, pizza stone or pizza pan.
  
  
• Lightly brush the dough with 1 teaspoon olive oil that was mixed with one crushed clove of garlic. You can leave the garlic out. The garlic is optional.
  
  
• Thinly slice the sweet potatoes. Divide them into two equal halfs and put them into two bowls. Season the first bowl with 1 tablespoon oil, 2 teaspoon pimenton, 2 teaspoon sweet paprika ½ teaspoon pepper and ½ teaspoon salt. Season the second bowl with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Mix the potato slices until they are evenly covered.
  
  
• Arrange the slices on the dough. You can either arrange them in a circular pattern and alternate between paprika and herb seasoning. If you are of the inpatient kind or in a hurry you can layer them out randomly.
  
  
• Now place the dish in the oven and watch it closely. At this temperature there is a fine line between nicely cooked and burned. It should take about 10-15 minutes depending on how thinly you rolled the dough out and how thickly you layered your sweet potatoes.

Notes

Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves before serving it - if you have them.In any case it takes less time than ordering and waiting for the takeout to arrive. But most of all you made it yourself and frankly you can use any seasoning and topping you like.
