A delightful white pizza celebrating the flavors of Jersey, featuring thinly sliced Jersey Royal potatoes, sweet Jersey crab meat, and bright lemon.
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature, ideally 250°C (480°F) or higher. Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
Scrub the Jersey Royal potatoes and slice them very thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Boil them in salted water for 3-4 minutes until only just becoming tender. Drain well and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix Jersey milk, garlic, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Use this to create a thin white base on the pizza dough.
Stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness. A thin crust is recommended for this pizza.
Brush the pizza dough with olive oil. Then spread your Jersey milk mix evenly over the base.
Arrange the blanched Jersey Royal potato slices evenly over the pizza base. Season with salt and pepper.
Scatter the Jersey crab meat over the potatoes.
Place the thin lemon slices evenly across the pizza.
Drizzle the pizza with the melted Jersey butter and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the potatoes are slightly crisp. Keep an eye on the pizza to avoid burning the crust.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before topping with fresh basil. Serve immediately.

If using store-bought pizza dough, allow it to come to room temperature before stretching for easier handling.
For an extra crispy crust, brush the edges of the pizza with olive oil before baking.
Don't overload the pizza with toppings, as this can make the crust soggy.
If you don't have fresh crab meat, good quality tinned crab meat can be used as a substitute. Ensure it's well drained.
The cooking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep a close eye on the pizza while it's baking.
