My Story with Sweet Pizza

Six years ago, in the midst of a global lockdown and thousands of miles from home, I lost my father. Like so many in 2020, I couldn’t attend his funeral or say goodbye, so I poured my grief into a farewell letter I shared publicly, something deeply unlike me, yet profoundly healing, as it brought an outpouring of support I truly needed. The very next day, a kind acquaintance sent a care package with meals and a thoughtful dessert: a deconstructed fruit pizza with fresh sourdough, vibrant red fruits, chocolate spread, cream, and fluffy marshmallows. Assembling it together became a small but powerful moment of comfort for my family, a pause to gently lift the heaviness and soothe our lingering sorrow.

How to Make the Best Sweet Pizza dough 

I’m not a sourdough-savvy baker, so I rely on cold fermentation—a simple technique that dramatically improves the pizza’s flavor and texture. By resting the dough in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight, yeast activity slows while deeper, more complex flavors develop, resulting in better texture, easier handling, and improved digestibility.

The dough itself is wonderfully simple, made with just four ingredients and instant yeast for a quick rise. Once combined, let it rest in a lightly oiled container in the fridge for 3–5 hours or, ideally, overnight (or about an hour in a warm spot if you’re short on time).

When doubled, bring it to room temperature, then shape it on a baking sheet, gently flattening the center while leaving the edges slightly raised. Bake it at 375 F° for 10-15 minutes.

While still warm, spread the chocolate-hazelnut spread so it melts smoothly over the surface, then top with sliced bananas, fresh red fruits, and a sprinkle of marshmallows or M&Ms. For a vegan option, I like using a homemade chocolate-hazelnut spread inspired by Minimalist Baker, though you can use store-bought bread or spread if preferred—personally, I avoid most commercial versions due to their palm oil content and high saturated fat

Instructions

 

• Make the dough: In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, sift together the flour and salt. Run the mixer and add the oil gradually, turn off the mixer when all the four is covered with oil.
• Proof the yeast: In a separate small bowl combine the yeast, sugar and water. Cover the bowl and let the mixture proof in a warm place. When the yeast water mixture starts to bubble and becomes frothy, add it to the dry ingredients and change the paddle attachment to the hook. Turn off the mixer when a soft, sticky dough comes together.
• Let the dough rise: Transfer the dough ball to a clean sizable bowl covered with oil and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
• Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
• Shape the dough: Transfer the risen dough to your work surface. Shape the dough: Remove the dough from the bowl and knead by hand for one or two minutes and then divide the dough to two equal pieces, or four equal pieces for smaller size pizzas. Using your hands, try to elevate the pizza border by pushing down the center of the pizza. Let the shaped pizza rise again for 20 minutes.
• Bake the dough: In a preheated oven to 375ºF  bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the crust bottom starts to brown.
• Serve the pizza crusts with chocolate-hazelnut spread, honey, fresh fruits, chocolate chips and/or marshmallows. Let your kids or guests customize their pizza the way they want. Use a kitchen torch Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast and caramelize the marshmallows until golden and gooey.

Nermine's Notes

To brown and melt the marshmallows, place the pizza under the broiler, in the oven for a couple of minutes OR simply use a torch when the kids are away.
