Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: Dough:; 1/2 cup warm water (100u00b0 to 110u00b0); 1 teaspoon dry yeast; 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided; 1/2 teaspoon sea salt; Cooking spray; Topping:; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 2 ounces pancetta, finely chopped; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1/8 teaspoon sea salt; 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed; 1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese; 1/4 cup (1 ounce) shaved fresh Parmesan cheese

Servings: persons

Dough:
1/2 cup warm water (100u00b0 to 110u00b0)
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Cooking spray
Topping:
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 ounces pancetta, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 pound fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shaved fresh Parmesan cheese

1
To prepare dough, combine warm water and yeast in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 1 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to yeast mixture; stir until blended. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead dough until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (the dough will feel sticky).
2
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85u00b0), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If an indentation remains, dough has risen enough.)
3
While dough rises, prepare topping. Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add thyme, pancetta, and garlic; saute 5 minutes or until pancetta is crisp. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper.
4
Preheat oven to 475u00b0.
5
Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Roll the dough into a 10-inch circle on a floured surface. Place dough on a baking sheet. Spread topping evenly over dough. Arrange the asparagus over topping; sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake at 475u00b0 for 10 minutes or until crust is golden. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with Parmesan.
