- Remove the mature dough from the refrigerator, divide into balls, and place in a container or box. Let rise until doubled in size.
- With a spatula, transfer a dough ball onto flour, reshape it into a round, and stretch it using circular motions to form the pizza base.
- Prepare the asparagus cream: blend asparagus stems with olive oil, garlic, potato, and a little water until smooth.
- Spread a layer of smoked provola over the pizza base.
- Add thin slices of smoked scamorza.
- Arrange plenty of artisanal black pepper pancetta on top.
- Bake the pizza at 330–340 °C for about 3 minutes until the pancetta is crispy.
- Finish with a few slices of provolone cheese and serve immediately.
