Instructions
To make the pizza dough:
Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl or stand mixer bowl. You might need to add additional water if the humidity in your house and in your flour is low. Form into a ball and place on a floured surface, knead for 5 minutes. The dough should be soft and elastic.
Grease a large bowl and add the dough ball. Cover with a tea towel and let rise for about an hour.
Divide the dough ball into four small balls. Stretch into four pizza crusts. Let rest for 15 minutes.
Prepare the pizzas:
Preheat the oven to 425°F. If using, add the pizza stone and allow it to get hot. If you are not using a pizza stone, lightly oil a baking sheet.
Once the stone has preheated (about 10 minutes), remove it from the oven. Arrange the four pizza crusts on the stone or on your baking sheet.
Add a layer of fresh mozzarella, then top with the thinly sliced potatoes.
Sprinkle the minced garlic, and add a layer of sliced red onions. Top with rosemary and the shredded Gruyere.
Brush the edges of the pizza crusts with olive oil and sprinkle some kosher salt. This will give a nice crunch and flavour to the pizza bones!
Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
When serving, sprinkle some additional salt and pepper over the pizza and drizzle with olive oil.
If using, sprinkle some crispy bacon and scallions on top. Dollop a generous tablespoon of sour cream in the center of each pizza and serve!
