Apple Dessert Pizza Crust Recipes

SWEET APPLE DESSERT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees f.
• Add chopped apples, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and butter to a skillet, and cook until apples are tender. It will take about 5 minutes over medium heat. Apples will caramelize in a slightly thick, brown sauce. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine one cup of all-purpose flour, Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Whisk until combined, and then add to a stand mixer.
• Add very warm water, and oil to dry mixture. Turn mixer on medium speed, and using dough hook, start to work the mixture.
• Slowly add in remaining flour. For this recipe, I did use the full 2 1/4 cups of flour for the perfect consistency.
• Dough will start to form a ball on the hook and will be slightly sticky.
• Knead on a floured surface. If dough is too sticky sprinkle additional flour on it and work into the dough.
• Allow Fleischmann's® RapidRise® Yeast dough to rest for 10 minutes.
• Once it has rested, sprinkle half the cornmeal on your pizza stone and put it in the oven.
• Sprinkle the remaining cornmeal on the back of a baking sheet.
• Stretch and form dough ball into a 12-14" pizza crust; set aside.
