Classic Italian cuisine meets one of Germany’s most beloved vegetables in this Roman-style pizza bianca (white pizza) with white asparagus, sliced potatoes, ham and cured egg. Typically, the stalks are served in Germany between April and June, alongside boiled potatoes, sliced ham and French Hollandaise (that brunch staple and classic mother sauce of butter, egg yolks, lemon juice and pepper). For this recipe, however, recipe developer Jelena Lozo lets white asparagus take centre stage on a pizza.
This airy and slightly thicker-than-Neapolitan dough is an excellent base for loading up (without getting soggy) on sliced potatoes, chopped asparagus and salty ham, all topped with a grated, cured egg yolk. Because the egg is preserved in salt and sugar, it’s safe to eat and adds a burst of rich, salty and nutty flavour, not to mention a vibrant pop of yellow colour.
And because there’s no tomatoes on this pizza – which means less acidity – the mild and delicate flavours of the white asparagus shine. This may be one of our most Germany-inspired pizza recipes yet, but luckily, you don’t have to be in the country to enjoy this fresh take on some of their classic staples.

Note
If making your dough, be sure to set aside 12 to 24 hours for proofing before you cook – check out our Roman-Style Pizza Dough recipe for tips and techniques. If you can’t get fresh white asparagus, tinned or jarred also works (just make sure to skip step number 2!). This recipe calls for cured egg yolks, which also takes time – we suggest curing them 4 to 5 days before cooking for maximum flavour.
