Asparagus and goats cheese pizza

I found this in Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's veg everyday book (which is fab btw!!) and have been wanting to try it out for a while. It was great; love a nice posh pizza!

Ingredients:

250g plain flour
250g strong white flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp yeast
1 onion per pizza
A bunch of thin asparagus per pizza
A handful of shredded goats cheese per pizza 

Recipe:

1. Mix the flours, salt and yeast and then add 325ml warm water and a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Mix and then knead for 5-10mins. Drizzle a bit of olive oil in a clean bowl and place the dough in the bowl, rolling it around until a film of oil covers the dough.
3. Leave in a warm place covered by a tea towel for 2 hours to rise. 
4. Poke the dough until it returns to a normal size then split into 3 pieces. Each piece makes a pizza, so if you need less than 3 freeze the rest in cling film. 
5. Roll out as thin as you can on a floured surface and place on a baking sheet
6. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees
7. Thinly slice and fry the onions
8. Scatter the onions over the pizza and place the asparagus on top, drizzle with oil, scatter on the cheese and season
9. Bake for 10-12mins until the pizza is golden brown and the asparagus tender
