Directions

1 pound homemade pizza dough, recipe follows, or purchased pizza dough

2 teaspoons butter, melted

1/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

2 tablespoons milk chocolate chips

2 tablespoons white chocolate chips

2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted

Position the oven rack on the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.

Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough to a 9-inch-diameter round. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingers, make indentations all over the dough. Brush the dough with butter, then bake until the crust is crisp and pale golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread over the pizza then sprinkle all the chocolate chips over. Bake just until the chocolate begins to melt, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the hazelnuts over the pizza. Cut into wedges and serve.

Ingredients

Pizza Dough:

1/2 cup warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)

2 teaspoons active dry yeast

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for bowl

Mix the warm water and yeast in a small bowl to blend. Let stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt in a food processor to blend. Blend in the oil. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture and blend just until the dough forms. Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm draft-free area until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 hour. Punch the down dough and form into ball. The dough can be used immediately or stored airtight in the refrigerator for 1 day.

Yield: 1 (16-ounce) ball of pizza dough

Chocolate on cardboard
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Kind-of tastes like chocolate on chewy bread...would recommend using a cookie crust rather than the pizza crust.

Another homerun! I just made this today, on a typical lazy Sunday and what a treat! My husband doesn't like white chocolate... and I didn't have the hazelnuts, so I tried a different route by splitting up the pizza with different ingredients. Half was just the semi sweet and milk chocolate, a quarter included the white chocolate for me, and for the the remaining quarter I added some Heatlh Bar topping that was hanging out in my pantry. Perfect! One slice is all you need to crush you craving, but the time was worth it!Read more

BEST DESSERT PIZZA!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a quick b-day celebration for my husband w/my kids. The kids had a blast making the pizza and it tasted... heavenly. And, u can decorate it a thousand different ways. And, if u don't have time u can buy the store-bought dough which tastes just as delicious. "If" you have leftovers I recommend microwaving it a few minutes before serving.Read more
