- Yields:
-
3 pizzas
ingredients
-
Dough
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 1⁄4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
Pizza
- 1 cup nutella
- 4 large bananas, sliced
- 3⁄4 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
directions
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey and yeast. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to proof the yeast. It should be foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, olive oil and the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand until a soft smooth dough forms, about 5 to 8 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and place inside a lightly greased large bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel and allow to rest until doubled in size, for 2 hours.
- Once done, gently punch the dough down and then transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Cut into three even pieces and form into balls. Keep them covered with a kitchen towel.
- Working with one at a time, roll out into a rectangle or a circle. Brush the surface evenly with olive oil.
- Preheat a large stovetop grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the pizza dough onto the grill, oil side down. Then brush the top side with oil as well. Cook until the dough begins to puff up slightly and grill marks form, about 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully flip over and continue to grill on the second side for about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and then continue grilling the rest of the pizza dough.
- Spread the grilled pizza dough with nutella while still warm to melt it slightly. Then top with sliced bananas and chopped hazelnuts. Slice and serve warm.
