Chocolate Pizza from Death by Chocolate Chip Cupcake by Sarah Graves
Serves: Makes 1 (12-inch) pizza
 
Chocolate Pizza is so easy to make, you’ll be wondering why you didn’t try it before!
Ingredients
  • 1 (0.25-ounce) package active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • White chocolate chips
  • Milk chocolate chips
  • Semisweet chocolate chips
  • Chopped, salted nuts (optional)
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, stir together yeast and ¾ cup warm water. Let stand until yeast dissolves and mixture is foamy, approximately 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in yeast mixture. Stir in olive oil until it forms a dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until dough is soft, adding more flour to the kneading surface, if needed.
  3. Coat the inside of another large bowl with a little olive oil. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease dough. Cover dough with a damp dishtowel and let dough rise in a warm (85°) place until doubled in size, 45 to 60 minutes. Punch dough down in the bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 450°.
  5. When it’s time to use it, punch dough down again and turn it out onto a 16-inch parchment paper square. Let dough rest for 10 minutes. Using a rolling pin, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle.
  6. Slide crust with parchment paper onto a pizza stone (or a baking sheet).
  7. Bake until well browned, but not burned, 10 to 20 minutes.
  8. Let cool slightly until just warm. Spread slightly warm crust with desired amount of chocolate-hazelnut spread. Sprinkle with desired amount of chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
  9. Return pizza to oven until chocolate melts slightly. Remove from oven, cut into slices, and enjoy!
