Author Notes
I have to give the credit for the dough to my boyfriend's family, but the topping combination I came up with on my own when I had some brussels sprouts lying around and not much else. Some of the best dinners are the kind that come, miraculously, out of a measly fridge. This pizza is like that. The brussels sprouts get crisped and their flavor nuttier, the potatoes soak up the garlic and rosemary oil and a few curls of parmesan on top right when it comes out of the oven brings out all the flavors. —kerokit

- toppings
-
Preheat oven to the highest temperature possible (no lower than 425 degrees). Slice brussels sprouts as thin as you can lengthwise (aim for a quarter inch although all is not lost if some come out thicker). Dump in a medium bowl and toss with a teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
-
Slice potatoes as thin as you can and toss with a teaspoon of olive oil in a medium bowl.
-
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, rosemary and pepper flakes. Have a brush handy.
-
Roll out your first pie, scatter some cornmeal on a peel and brush the dough with half of the garlic olive oil herby mixture. Arrange half the potato slices however you like on top. Then spread a few handfuls of brussels sprouts on top of that and slide onto your pizza stone.
-
Bake for 12 minutes, give or take.
-
Shave some parmesan over the top while the pie is still hot. Sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy.
-
Repeat.
