sweet pizzas...

[joko]

why is there no such thing as sweet pizzas?
to has any one ever tried making one?

i would suggest, the usual dough base, covered with a caramel/toffee sauce or perhaps jam, instead of tomato sauce
top that with fruit and nuts, or fudge, brownie pieces, instead of meat and veg,
then sprinkle with grated chocolate instead of cheese.
(instead of a 4 cheese, you could have white, milk and dark choc and a caramac, lol)

and perhaps sprinkle with icing sugar (or hundreds and thousands lol) instead of herbs

you could add cream cheese

or once cooked you could top with ordinary cream perhaps

you could even add sweet chilli sauce

what do you reckon? hit or miss?

anyone brave enough to try one?

Joko - this is a recipe from one of our TV chefs.

Grilled Fruit Pizza
Recipe courtesy Sandra Lee

1 stick butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened (recommended: Philadelphia)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon water
1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough (recommended: Pillsbury)
1 (12-ounce) bag frozen peach slices, thawed (recommended: Dole)
1 (12-ounce) bag frozen strawberries, thawed, sliced (recommended: Dole)
1 (12-ounce) bag frozen mixed berries, thawed (recommended: Dole)

Set up grill for direct cooking over medium heat. Oil grate when ready to start cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, cream cheese, sugar, and almond extract. Beat with hand mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Combine honey and water in a small bowl. Stir until honey is dissolved. Set aside.

Unroll pizza dough onto hot oiled grill. Cook for 4 minutes on each side. (TIP: use a cookie sheet as a big spatula when flipping the crust and removing from grill.) Brush with honey mixture and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove crust from grill. Spread with cream cheese mixture and arrange fruit on top.

INDOOR: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Carefully unroll dough and place on prepared baking sheet. Press out dough with fingers to form 13 by 9-inch rectangle. Brush dough with honey mixture and bake in preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until crust turns golden brown. Remove crust from oven and top as directed.

3 cups fruit, fresh bananas, pineapple chunks, maraschino cherries, fresh oranges cut into rounds and peeled, blueberries, strawberries and peaches

Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled cookie dough crust. Arrange fruit in circles (like a bulls eye pattern). Slightly warm marmalade and brush over fruit. Serve immediately.

There are a zillion different ones just from our TV chefs - but I will post just one more for you:

Chocolate Pizza
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

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.

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,
