Chocolate Chips Pizza

Makes 2 medium size pizza's
















Ingredients:
For pizza dough
250 gm white flour
3 gm yeast
160 ml Luke warm water
5 gm salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp butter, melted
Toppings
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 up white chocolate chips
3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (e.g Nutella)
1/2 cup toasted & chopped hazelnuts or any other nuts of your choice


Procedure:
For pizza dough
1. To make the dough by hand; in a mixing bowl mix the flour, yeast, salt & water to form a sticky dough. Add the oil, mix it in, then turn the dough out on a clean work surface. Knead until smooth and silky.
2. Or, to use a food mixer; fit the dough hook and add the flour, yeast, salt and water to the mixing bowl. Mix on a low speed, then add the oil and leave to knead for about 10 minutes, until smooth and silky.
3. Shape the dough into a round, then leave to rise in a clean bowl, covered with a plastic bag, until doubled in size, about 1-1 1/2 hours.
4. Preheat you oven at 400 degrees F. Then take the dough on a floured working surface and divide the dough into halves. Take one half and roll it with a roller pin to about 1 inch thick, keeping it as round as you can. Place the rolled dough on a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
5. Lightly press down the dough with the tip of your fingers to make small indentations where the melted butter can sit. Brush the surface of the dough with melted butter.
6. Bake the pizza dough in a preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until the surface of the dough becomes golden brown and slightly crispy.
7. Repeat the same procedure for the remaining dough.
Make pizza
1. Take the pizza base out of the oven. Let it sit for a minute or two. Spread a thick of the chocolate hazelnut spread all over the pizza base.
2. Sprinkle over bittersweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips evenly. Top with some toasted and chopped hazelnuts to add an extra crunch to the pizza.
3. Pop the pizza back in the oven for just a minute to melt the chocolate chips a little bit. Don't let it be in the oven for any longer than that. Otherwise the chocolate chips will burn and taste bitter.
4. Repeat the same procedure with the remaining pizza base. Place it on a decorative platter and serve as a different type of dessert in your next pizza party. Enjoy!
