Absolutely! For a quicker version, store-bought dough works fine — but making your own gives you that sweet vanilla flavour in the crust.
Can I prep it ahead?

For the Sweet Pizza Dough
- 1 cup (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) warm water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Nutella Dessert Pizza
- 3 tbsp Nutella (or more, depending on your sweetness preference)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
Optional Toppings
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows (for added gooeyness)
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips (for extra chocolatey goodness)
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries or bananas
- Drizzle honey
Making the Dough
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 cup (120ml) warm water, 1 tsp active dry yeast
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough starts to form.
1 cup (250g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp olive oil
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and leave it to rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Assembling the Nutella Dessert Pizza
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up while the oven warms.
Once your dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to a 10-12 inch circle. If you want a thicker crust, leave it a bit more rustic!
Spread Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
3 tbsp Nutella
Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips on top of the Nutella. For an added twist, you can even throw in a few crushed nuts like hazelnuts or almonds.
1/4 cup mini marshmallows, 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Carefully transfer the pizza to your preheated pizza stone or baking tray. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the marshmallows are lightly browned and puffy.
After baking, add fresh strawberries or banana slices for a fruity touch, drizzle with honey, and dust with powdered sugar.
1/4 cup fresh strawberries or bananas, 1 tbsp powdered sugar
Slice your Nutella dessert pizza and enjoy the combination of warm, gooey chocolate, and sweet toppings.
