Dough
- In a large bowl, mix whole-wheat flour, 1 cup (250 mL) of all-purpose flour, yeast and salt. Stir in warm water and canola oil .
- Gradually stir in enough of remaining all-purpose flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly-floured surface until smooth and elastic.
- Shape dough into a ball. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes before rolling out.
Toppings
- Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp canola oil (30 mL) over medium heat. Add potato slices and cook until done, about 4 – 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Prepare remaining ingredients for toppings.
- Roll out dough on a lightly-floured surface, shape dough to fit a 15 inch (38 cm) pizza pan or stone. Pierce dough with a fork to prevent air pockets from forming during baking.
- Preheat oven to 450 °F (230°).
Assembly
- Spread garlic on pizza dough and top with half of both Fontina and Parmesan cheese.
- Top pizza with potato slices, followed by the rest of the two cheeses. Layer with asparagus and sprinkle with tarragon, chives, and fresh ground pepper.
- Bake pizza for 18 – 23 minutes, until dough and cheese are lightly brown.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
