Question 1

Do I need to sauteé or roast the vegetables before baking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, quickly giving the veggies a sautee helps them be the perfect texture on your pizza and ensures that your potato leek pizza is topped with tender (read: cooked) veggies!

Question 2

Can I use regular russet or yukon potatoes in this recipe?

Accepted Answer

Smaller roasting potatoes work best, because they will cook quickly.

If you use larger potatoes, be sure to give them a quick boil first, or cook them quickly in the microwave by piercing the potatoes and microwaving for 30-60 seconds.

This will help the potatoes to become tender before baking on the pizza. If you skip this step, your potatoes could still be raw.

Question 3

How hot should my oven be for homemade pizza?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to have your oven preheated to at least 450ºF. You can heat your oven to 500ºF, just be sure to adjust the cooking time to 8-12 minutes instead of 12-15 minutes.

A special piece of equipment called baking steel helps your oven to get to an ever higher temperature, perfect for baking pizza in a fraction of the time!

If you are using something like this, be sure to keep an eye on your pizza as it could cook in 10 minutes or less, depending on the size!
