Stir together all the pizza dough ingredients except for the softened butter. You can do this in a stand mixer, or in a bowl with a spoon. If in a mixer, knead for about 8 minutes. If by hand, pour it out on the counter and knead for about 12 minutes.
Add to a greased bowl and cover. Allow to rest for about an hour on the counter, or in the fridge overnight.
Roll out the dough very thin and spread the softened butter over the dough. Roll the dough up tightly into a log, then roll the log up. See photos above if needed. Place the dough into a greased bowl and allow to rest another hour.

Lightly grease the potatoes and roast them in the oven at 350 for about an hour and a half until tender.
Scoop out the potatoes from the skin and use a potato ricer or mill to break them up.
Stir in the butter and milk and set aside until ready to use.

Preheat a pan with your prefered cooking oil. Add the lamb and cook to brown while breaking it up. After it's mostly cooked, about 5 minutes, add in the onion, carrot, and celery. Continue to cook for about 8 minutes until the veggies are softened.
Add in the butter and garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add in the flour and cook 2 minutes, stirring often.
Stir in the stock, stirring fast to avoid any lumps. Continue to stir as you bring to a simmer. Stir in the rosemary and thyme.
Cook about 10 minutes until he sauce has thickened nicely and coats the meat well. Stir in the corn and remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 400
Grease a springform pan. Roll out the dough to a thick round a bit larger than the pan. Spread it over the springform pan. Press it into the pan creating the crust, with the crust reaching up at least 3/4 of the way up the sides.
Start with a layer of cheese, then add in the lamb mixture. Most of the mixture should fit but make sure not to overdo it. Leave room for the potatoes.
Add more cheese, then the potatoes, filling it right up to the top of the dough. Top with the remaining cheese.
Put he springform pan onto a baking sheet to prevent any leaking oil from dripping into the oven and burning. Bake the pizza at 400 for 35 minutes until the cheese is browned around the edges and the dough is fully cooked.
Allow to rest for 10 minutes, then remove form the pan, slice, and serve.
