Deep-fried egg with rice

1. Place all the dry ingredients in a large bowl and combine well. Make a well in the centre and gradually stir in the water until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface until soft and stretchy. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Allow to prove for about 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
3. Knock down the dough and roll into balls of around 100 g each. Flatten the balls into circles.
4. Slice the potatoes very thinly using a mandolin or potato peeler. Keep the potato offcuts to make chips. Arrange the slices into a fan on each piece of dough and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, place on a lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown. Sprinkle over the thyme leaves and serve.
Cook's note: Try the pizzettes with sweet potato slices and a drizzle of hot honey right before serving, or make one giant version as a bread course before a special meal.
