The pizza is made up by a soft and slightly chewy pizza crust, that eventually becomes smothered in Nutella and then sprinkled with milk, and white chocolates and then finished with toasted marshmallows, drizzle of Hershey's chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of the secret ‘crunch’. This dessert pizza is definitely not for the faint of heart so take heed in my caution. Also the pizza is best enjoyed straight out of the oven whilst the marshmallows are still gooey and the chocolate in rich, liquid form.
Serves: 12-13inch round pizza
Ingredients:
(Pizza Dough)
1¾ to 2¼cups plain flour
¼ cup milk powder
1 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
1¼ teaspoon instant yeast*
¾ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
¾ warm water
2 teaspoons butter, melted
(Toppings)
⅓ cup Nutella
Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce
⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips (or finely chopped
semisweet chocolate bar)
⅓ cup white chocolate chips (melted)
⅓ cup Kellogs Corn Flakes/Crunchy Nut (crushed into
tiny pieces)
1
cup mini marshmallows (or regular marshmallows cut into eighths)
Directions:
1.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted
with the hook attachment (or a large bowl if kneading by hand), place 1¾ cups
of the flour, the milk powder, sugar, yeast*, salt and whisk together with a
hand whisk or fork. Add in the oil and whisk together until thoroughly mixed.
2.
With the mixer on low speed,
gradually pour in the warm water. Knead together until smooth and uniform dough
starts to form.
3.
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl,
and turn it over to get it all covered with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap
and place in a warm place. Let it rise until doubled in bulk, 45 minutes to 1
hour.
4.
During the last 15 minutes of rising,
place the oven rack to the lowest position and turn the oven to 220 degrees Celsius
5.
Spray a 12inch or 13 inch round pan
or a rectangular baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
6.
Turn the risen dough onto the pan or
baking sheet and spread it evenly with your hand into a 12/13inch circle.
7.
Using the palm of your hand, push the
dough to the sides of the pan to create a thicker edge. Using your fingers,
make indentation all over the dough, except for the edges.
8.
Brush the dough with the melted
butter.
9.
Bake the dough until slightly crisp
and pale golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
10.
Immediately, spread the Nutella over
the pizza (leaving the edges bare), then place marshmallows all over the pizza
at a distance from each other and finishing it off with a sprinkle of crushed
corn flakes.
11.
Place back in the oven, and bake just
until the chocolate starts to melt and the marshmallows takes on a golden brown
colour, 2-3 minutes. Do not bake
for too long or the chocolate will harden and marshmallows will turn brown.
12.
Take out of the oven and drizzle both
the white chocolate melt sauce and Hershey’s chocolate sauce all over the pizza
and finish with a drizzle of corn flakes.
13.
Cut the pizza into wedges and enjoy
right away.
14. As with all pizzas, it is best served warm out of
the oven while the chocolate is still in liquid form. Chocolate will harden
over time, especially in cooler environments. Leftover slices can be warmed up
in the microwave.
