Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • 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.

  • 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.

Notes

  • For a Soft Dough: If you prefer a softer, chewier crust, reduce the baking time slightly.
  • Customization: Feel free to add toppings like crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or even sprinkles for extra fun!
  • Serving Idea: A scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream makes for the perfect pairing.
