Ingredients

1 storebought pizza dough
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 tablespoons Cinnamon-Sugar, divided, recipe follows
2 cups mascarpone cheese
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
2 cups mixed berries

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Using a rolling pin, roll out the pizza dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Transfer the pizza dough to the lined baking sheet and brush the dough with the melted butter. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Cinnamon-Sugar and bake until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool the pizza crust on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the cheese, cream, lemon juice, and zest.

Spread the cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Top with mixed berries and sprinkle with the remaining Cinnamon-Sugar. Slice like a pizza and serve.

Cinnamon-Sugar:

1 vanilla bean

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Cut the vanilla bean in half, lengthwise. Using the back of a knife, scrape along the inside of the vanilla bean to collect the seeds. Scrape vanilla bean seeds into a small bowl. Add sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine. Set aside in a small serving bowl.

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPS
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for New Year's Day Breakfast. My cousin is a vegatarian so I decided to do a vegatarian new year style... breakfast. The kids and adults loved this one. It was simple and delicious. The only thing is that the crust didn't turn out quite right, I belived I over cooked it. But that's my fault not Giada's, next time it will be perfect. Read more

One Word.....Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for my family on New Years Day for brunch and we all loved it. The kids went bananas over it! It was so easy... and the mascopone cheese mixture was so good I wanted to lick the bowl - LOL! This is one of those recipes I will make to bring to parties - it's a crowd pleaser for sure. Giada...you did it again - I love your show. You make me want to cook more creatively.Read more

Healthier version
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love Giada, but I'm a person who will substitute ingredients if possible to lessen the guilt. For the breakfast pizza I... used splenda sweetner instead of regular sugar, fat-free cream cheese instead of mascapone, and half n half instead of heavy cream. I also added some kiwis to the mix of berries. I used frozen berries and thawed them before use because each package of berries fresh are $4 each versus the forzen package all mixed in for $3. I also made two small pizzas out of the dough. The hint of lemon in the cream was fantastic. I will be making this pizza again very soon.Read more

Delightful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just made this for breakfast Christmas morning...very light and yummy. A wonderful treat. It was my first time using... Mascarpone cheese and I thought it was delicious. Thicker and sweeter than cream cheese, a welcome surprise. I only used half (1cup) because it was pretty pricey at my grocery store, but I think it was just enough. Using 2 cups would have made a layer about 1 inch thick which would have been just a little too much for me! I also added just a touch of sugar to the cheese to cut some of the lemon tartness. My dough was a little tough, but I think that's because I followed the 350 degree directions from this recipe instead of the 450 degree pizza dough actual directions - my own fault. I also didn't have vanilla bean, but I just added about 1/2 t vanilla extract to the sugar mixture (I only made half that too...and still had some left over). Great flavor in the sugar and it didn't burn either. Overall, a wonderful, delightful treat!Read more
