↓ The ingredients ↓ The steps

Potato wedge pizza is a beloved cafe-style variation popular in East Asia, where rich, savory, and starchy elements combine to create a deeply comforting dish. Instead of a traditional tomato base, this recipe utilizes a creamy egg salad spread that perfectly complements the crispy air-fried potatoes and savory ham slices.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Combine ingredients
    Ingredients for dough being measured and added to a mixing bowl.

    In a large glass bowl placed on a digital scale, combine 210g of water, 3g of salt, 3g of yeast, 10g of olive oil, and 300g of high-gluten flour. This creates the foundation for your dough.

    Tip: Using a digital scale ensures the precise ratios needed for consistent dough hydration.
  2. 2Mix the dough
    A spatula mixing dough ingredients in a glass bowl.

    Using a silicone spatula, mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until they come together into a shaggy, cohesive dough mass.

    Tip: Do not overwork the dough at this stage; simply ensure all the flour is hydrated.
  3. 3Fold the dough

    Perform the first fold by gently grabbing the edge of the dough, stretching it slightly, and folding it over toward the center. Repeat this motion around the bowl to strengthen the dough structure.

    Tip: Keep your hands slightly damp to prevent the dough from sticking while folding.
  4. 4Season potato wedges
    Olive oil being poured over potato wedges in a bowl.

    Place your cut potato wedges into a metal mixing bowl. Pour olive oil over them and add salt, tossing well to ensure every wedge is evenly coated.

    Tip: Tossing the potatoes thoroughly with oil ensures they become crispy and golden in the air fryer.
  5. 5Air fry the potatoes
    Potato wedges arranged in an air fryer basket.

    Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer inside an air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Cook at 200 degrees for 20 minutes until crispy and tender.

    Tip: Arranging them in a single layer allows for maximum air circulation and better browning.
  6. 6Boil the eggs
    Three eggs boiling in a red pot on the stove.

    Place eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Let them cook for 10 minutes to reach a hard-boiled consistency, perfect for the egg salad.

    Tip: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath immediately after boiling for easier peeling.
  7. 7Mash the eggs

    Place the boiled eggs into a mixing bowl and add mayonnaise and freshly ground black pepper. Use a fork or masher to break down the eggs and combine everything into a smooth, creamy egg salad.

    Tip: For a creamier texture, ensure the eggs are peeled completely and mashed thoroughly while still slightly warm.
  8. 8Divide the dough
    The proofed dough on a work surface being divided into two even pieces with a dough scraper.

    Once the dough has finished its proofing, remove it from the bowl and gently deflate it. Use a dough scraper to cut the mass into two equal portions, preparing them for shaping.

    Tip: Handle the dough gently to maintain the air bubbles created during the proofing process.
  9. 9Shape the dough
    A round piece of flat dough on a baking tray being pricked with a fork to create holes.

    Place the dough portions onto baking trays and press them out into flat, circular shapes using your hands. Use a fork to prick holes across the surface of the dough to prevent it from puffing up unevenly during baking.

    Tip: Pricking the dough ensures a consistent, flat base for your toppings.
