Step-by-step

1. In the kitchen: begin with the dough. Mix the dry yeast with the salt and water. Let the yeast dissolve.
2. Mix the two types of flour in a food processor and add the water mixture.
3. Knead for 10-15 minutes – until it forms a smooth dough.
4. Roll it into a ball on a floured surface and leave it in a covered bowl to rise for about 1 hour.
5. Peel the potatoes and cut them into ½cm x ½cm cubes. Blanch them briefly in boiling salted water until they are almost done. Drain.
6. Peel the onion and slice thinly. Add a bit of salt to it. Wash the chives and cut very finely, then place them in the fridge. Grate the cheese and slice the ham.
7. When the dough has risen, divide it in 8 pieces. Form them into small oval-shaped pizzas and place them on the baking tray dusted with flour.
8. Brush the pizzas with sour cream, leaving about a 1cm margin around the edge. Top with sliced ham, potato cubes, onion and cheese.
9. At the Barbecue: prepare the barbecue for indirect heat – approx. 250°C. Put the pizza stone on and let it preheat for 15-20 minutes.
10. Place the baking tray with the pizzas on to the stone and close the lid. Let them bake for 6-8 minutes. Regularly check that the crusts are not burning. If so – move slightly on the stone.
11. Remove pizzas from the grill when the dough is golden brown, the topping has browned and the cheese is melted.
12. Serve with a generous amount of chives and salt and pepper to taste.
