Pizza with avocado
Description
Goes wonderfully with tea and coffee. Avocado pizza is my own culinary experiment, my improvised creation in the kitchen—and it turned out unusually successful. I’ve never seen anything like it at any pizzeria :) As it turns out, avocado fits the pizza format just perfectly. Avocado has a buttery, mild flavour and so it balances out the very sharp taste of blue cheese and air‑dried ham. Add somewhat unusual dough to the mix—and you end up with a very distinctive, interesting dish. Good luck making it—and, of course, the bake is ready. Serve it at the table.

We start by making the dough. Sift the flour, salt, and yeast into a bowl. Add 230 ml of warm water and olive oil to the same bowl. Knead the dough for 5–10 minutes until elastic, then cover with a towel and let rise for an hour.
