The dough is "simple" yet will be quite a story to write here.
If you want, I can make a write up later. It is made on sourdough and will require some experience in baking.
As many other things it is easy when you know how to do it.

Otherwise there is a lot of recipes on YouTube for neapolitan pizza doughs, those will work well, and they can probably explain it better than me.

The second part to the dough is the oven. For this I used an electric pizza oven borrowed from my sister. Crazy expensive!

I have a little lpg fired one my self. It will make almost as good results.
Otherwise you can get creative with your own oven.
Heat is the name of the game.

Topping is thinly sliced potatoes, cut on a mandolin, as thin as you can.
Then you salt them, they will start shedding a lot of water, and thats what you want.
Wash and wring as much water out as you can.
They will be soft and somewhat salty, but it will play well with the other toppings.

Shape the dough

Mascarpone, thinned a bit with some milk or mozzarella brine, is spread on the dough.

Top with a little mozzarella, the potatoes (dont lay them out flat just make a "deliberate mess"), thinly sliced shallot, rosemary, black pepper and olive oil to taste.

Bake

Awesome! I have a wood pellet fired Ooni oven and follow their dough receipt, but prove it in the fridge for 24 hours.

I'll try a potato one next time I crank it up

My daughter in Munich now swears by using avocado oil as she can get a higher heat without burning in a pan.
My next project is to make a tandoor, the vermiculite and steel dustbin I bought a few years ago. Now I need to source the plant pots.
This is a cheap meal with a mug of tea £7 in a Folkstone pie & mash café but it is a London dish. Pie & mash I first tried when going with an old GF back in the 1970s as she was from Fulham.

I love pie and mash. There was a very busy cafe at the Elephant and Castle. Haven’t had it in years.

Has anyone ever tried these? I watched a james Martin live show and he said it’s a must try best steaks in the world. They have a restraunt in Spain where all the rich & famous visit. you can order online to eat here in uk. If you search up ‘el capricho’ the cattle are collosal.

I hope you know that you do not cut a Semmelknödel in half but using a knife and fork to gently pull the Semmelknödel apart to expose the chunk of bread that should be in the middle.
My German partner was a trained cook in a game restaurant in Selb Bavaria and she taught me that one.

That’s a new one on me. Perhaps you mean Kartoffelklöße, they sometimes have a bread filling.

Semmelknödel (German Bread Dumplings)

Authentic Semmelknödel (German Bread Dumplings recipe), a specialty of the Bavaria. Drenched in gravy these Knoedel are pure heaven!

That’s my go to for the semmel version, the addition of smoked bacon takes it next level. Even better the following day, halved and fried in butter with leftovers!

I just checked with SWMBO and it is the Kartoffelklöße. It is the Semmelknödel that needs to be cut with a knife.

Interesting KB, never seen Salmon with black olives ?? I do mine on Bay leaves.

Looks like Rosemary also with black olives to form a 'bed' to cook on ?
Care to share the recipe / elaborate ?

 

[Klenchblaize]

Will do but according to Roger Daltrey its a rainbow trout!

£40 a bit much for a tool most would use on rare occasions
