How to make pizza dough for
delicious Italian dessert recipes.

How to make pizza dough

Sweet pizza is not well known outside Italy, but it’s delicious.

””



If you want to learn how to make pizza dough for Italian dessert recipes it's not difficult, and it tastes so much better than a shop-bought product.


We’ve described a hand-made easy pizza dough recipe for savoury dishes, and a quicker bread machine pizza dough recipe elsewhere.


Now we look at how to make pizza dough for sweet recipes.


Simple and delicious, it’s worth every minute of the time it takes. It stores well in a tin and will freeze well too.


We use our bread machine to make this base, but you can also make it by hand if you have the time.

✱ Knead it well for about five minutes, until it forms a soft, smooth ball.


✱ Making sure the work surface is well floured, roll into a round just big enough to fit your dish.


✱ Leave it for at least 30 minutes until slightly risen.

✱ Now cook in a moderate oven - 180⁰ C, (350⁰ F, gas mark 4) for about fifteen minutes. When cooked it will be golden brown and slightly risen.


✱ Take out of the pan and place on a baking tray to cool.


✱ If it has risen too much, wait until it has cooled and gently push the crust down. It will crack, but the cracks will be covered with your topping.



✱ Now cover with your favourite topping and ...

BUON APPETITO!
