Pizza Dough Ingredients

Yields two 13″ pizza doughs

* ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
* 1¾ teaspoons quick-rise instant yeast
* 1 teaspoon honey
* 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
* 3 tablespoons yellow cornmeal (optional)
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Pizza Dough Instructions

1. In a small bowl dissolve the honey in water. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and let stand for 3 minutes. In a medium bowl mix together the flour, cornmeal (if you choose to use it), and salt. Pour the water/yeast mixture into the flour and mix to form a ball. Transfer the contents onto a working surface and knead the dough for approximately 7 to 10 minutes or until you have formed a smooth and elastic dough.
2. Grease the bottoms and sides of a clean medium-sized bowl with olive oil (approximately 1 teaspoon).
3. Place the ball inside the bowl; turn it over to grease the underside. Cover the bowl lightly with plastic wrap and set aside. Allow the dough to rise approximately 30 minutes.
4. After the dough has risen, divide it in half. Stretch the dough to fit a non-stick pizza pan and top with your favorite toppings.

Brush melted butter on the pizza dough and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Baked using the default PIZZA setting on your countertop oven, deselect the FROZEN and CONVECTION settings and press START/CANCEL to activate.

Remove cooked crust from oven and spread ½ cup of mascarpone cheese sweetened with honey. Sauté thinly sliced pears in butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar until caramelized. Top pizza with caramelized pears and toasted walnuts.

With a little creativity and dexterity, these dessert pizzas are as perfect for a crowd as they are for two. Make an artistic finish by drizzling chocolate or an elegant arrangement of pear slices as a simple way to make an impressive yet easy presentation.

And with limitless possibilities, they’re the perfect excuse to show off your creative gourmet savvy.
