This is pretty awesome as pizzas go. My husband referred to this as a "perfect recipe" and from an end-result point of view I have to agree.
I didn't find using the recommended vegetable peeler to shave the asparagus to be very effective. In fact, I found it frustrating and after two stalks, I switched to the smallest, sharpest paring knife I have, and found it much easier and quicker.
I also made the dough one day before, let it rise, and then punched down and refrigerated over night. It turned out really well -- a great thin crust.
The chopped scallions sprinkled on top after the pizza comes out of the oven are just the right punch up to the flavor.
I followed the recipe and used parmesan and buffalo mozzarella but this is a recipe that invites experimentation with other cheeses.
This is a nice light lunch but it might also be interesting, cut into small pieces, as an appetizer. Either way, a pinot grigio is a nice pairing.
