Dessert Pizza on Flat Bread

Dessert Pizza on Flat Bread
(with Nutella, grated white chocolate and fresh strawberries)

Dessert Pizza ....think about it, hot off the grill warm bread coated in rich melted butter.
 As you spread the Nutella(I prefer) over the grilled golden brown ridges it starts to melt. Then you add a sprinkle of grated white chocolate for the looks of cheese and fresh sliced strawberries for that meaty texture look of pepperoni. Well, you get the idea anyway right! Today I am going to share a recipe for my Dessert Pizza on flat bread. I actually use this recipe to make my Italian flat bread but I omit the sugar. When it's
grilled I use olive oil, garlic salt and Parmesan cheese over it. Then I cut into strips and serve. I didn't mean to get off track (laughing) sorry!
So this recipe can be used for both dishes. You will find it has little crispy texture on the out side, so you get that crunch when you first bite into it. Then the middle is soft, so by the time you reach that, with the topping flavors combined together...all I can say is Mm. It's just so delightful. You can use various toppings for this dessert pizza, cinnamon sugar, a chocolate nut spread, white chocolate or chocolate gnache, jams, jellies and fruit spreads etc. You can also top with your favorite nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit, coconut, grated chocolates, chocolate chips(or any flavor of baking chips) and candy bars I could go on and on. So be creative and use your imagination.


Dessert Pizza on Flat Bread 


Ingredients:


3 cups flour ( I used all purpose)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 packets rapid rise yeast
1 1/4 cup milk (hot but not scolded)
1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)optional

Toppings:
Your favorite choices ( I prefer Nutella , fresh strawberries, grated white chocolate and cinnamon sugar)


In a large bowl (or I use my counter top mixer with dough hook) mix flour, sugar, salt and yeast. Then slowly add the milk it should start to pull from sides a little.Then add oil and continue until the dough is mixed well and has pulled away from the sides (after about 3-5 minutes on hook). Then I remove the dough off the hook and let it rest in the same bowl for about 10-15 minutes (I cover it with plastic wrap while it rest). In the mean time I get my toppings, the grill, and the work area ready. Heat your grill or pan of your choice on low heat ( I used my stove top grill, it covers two burners).

(formed round to cut into quarters)

Take take the dough and place on floured work area (it will not be doubled in size). Need the dough about 4-5 times. Then roll in a round form and cut into quarters. Take a quarter and fold the sides in if you want them round shaped. Then I take a rolling pin an roll the dough out about 7-8 inch wide (or your preference).
They do not all come out perfectly round by the time you transfer them from the board to the grill they get a little misshaped. It gives the flat bread that rustic appeal.

Spray your pan with cooking spray and turn the heat up to Medium. Then lay the dough on the grill and brush top of dough with melted butter, cook for 2-3 minutes(it varies on the thickness of the dough). Once you start to see the dough getting the bubble look you can flip it over with a large spatula. Then brush the grilled side(that is now on top) with melted butter and cook until done 2-3 minutes. If your not sure the dough is done you can take a knife and cut a slit in the middle to check the texture. Everybody has different taste on how they like their dough. I like mine doughy. When cooked, take off the grill an place on a plate, till your ready to dress up your dessert pizza.
