Ingredients:

1.75 cup

Water (warm)

2 tsps

Salt

5 cups

Bread Flour

Directions:

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

2

After baking the dough, milk chocolate and white chocolate chunks should be sprinkled over the surface

3

Top with mini marshmallows, banana slices and peanut butter drizzle can also be added

4

Place pizza into oven for 3 to 5 minutes to melt the chocolate and marshmallows

5

Preheat oven at 450 degrees F

6

Measure out 1 3/4 cups warm water (it should be pleasantly warm on your wrist)

7

Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and allow it to activate, about 10 minutes

8

Put the salt and 2 cups of the flour into a food processor

9

Pulse 5 times to blend

10

Pour in the yeast and water and pulse 5 times

11

Add the olive oil

12

Add the remaining flour 1 cup at a time, pulsing and scraping the sides of the bowl until well blended

13

As soon as the mixture is combined, dump it out onto a well-floured board and knead for 15 turns, until the dough is smooth and elastic

14

Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn to coat all sides

15

Cover with plastic wrap or a tea towel

16

Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, until doubled in size, then punch it down

17

Divide it in half; each half will make 1 (12-inch) pizza

18

Place on a cornmeal-dusted pizza stone, pizza pan, or cookie sheet

19

Roll up edge slightly to create a ridge around the pizza

20

Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until crust is light brown

21

Cook's Note: If using only half dough, freeze the other half

22

Place the dough in a resealable freezer bag

23

To thaw, remove the bag from the freezer and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours

24

Roll the dough out while cold then allow it to come to room temperature before adding toppings
