KellyWA (11:36:48) : DESSERT PIZZA SHELLS

1/2 oz Active dry yeast
2 tb Nonfat dry milk powder
1 c Very warm (120-125'F) water
1 tb Sugar or honey
1/2 c Apple juice
1 ts Salt
5 c Flour
1/2 c Lukewarm water (or more)

Dissolve the yeast and the skim milk powder in the
water. Add the sugar or honey and stir well to
dissolve. Let this sit for
about 10 minutes. Add the apple juice and combine
well.

Put all of the flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the
salt and combine. Add the liquid mixture to the flour
along with enough additional water to make a soft but not
sticky dough. Knead the dough for 4
minutes if using a stand mixer; 8 minutes if kneading
by hand. Divide the dough into balls
of about 4 ounces each, put them on a floured sheet
pan, cover the pan and allow to rise
for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until doubled in bulk (or let
rise, covered well, in the refrigerator overnight).

Thickness: To make a dessert pizza shell, the dough
should be rolled thicker than that for
a thin-crust pizza because it will be holding more
weight. Go with a dough shell that is at
least 1/8-inch thick.

Forming: Pull up the sides to form a crust cuff or a
well to hold the dessert toppings. The
pizza shell should like like a pie or tart shell.

Size: A four- or five-inch diameter pizza seems to
be the best size, because it can be
served as an individual dessert or as one for two
people to share.

Preparation: The best way to go from this point is to
dock the crust and bake it completely. This baked crust will then be ready to
take various toppings. In a few
situations you might want to only par-bake the crust
-- when doing a baked apple pizza,
for example.

Toppings:
Cheeses: For the sake of simplicity and good taste,
cheeses can be narrowed down to three: ricotta,
mascarpone and cream cheese.
Fruits: Just about any fruit will work. Using fresh
fruit
will control the moisture.
Nuts: Walnuts, pecans, almonds, and pine nuts are
favorites.
Miscellaneous: Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg
and cloves work well. Crushed or ground amaretto cookies make a great
topping over cheese and fruit. Chocolate chips,
raisins and zest of oranges,
lemons or limes can be used most effectively to
pump up the flavor. A dusting of confectioners' sugar looks good
and goes a long way in the taste department. Brushing or layering fruit
preserves or a fruit glaze on the crust before toppings go on adds a
lot of flavor and offers a wide range of taste possibilities.
