  • 2 tbsp brown sugar +/-
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar +/-
  • Pecan pieces

Instructions

  1. Roll out the dough ball to the desired thinness.
  2. Using a pastry brush, brush the edges or crust of the dough with olive oil.
  3. Spread the cream cheese on the dough, meeting the olive oiled crust line.
  4. Layer the strawberries over the cream cheese, then the bananas in the open spots.
  5. Sprinkle the pecan pieces over the fruit, then the brown sugar.
  6. Make sure the bananas are coated in the brown sugar, as it will crystalize on them during the baking process.
  7. Dust the powered sugar over the entire pizza.

Outdoor Pizza Oven

  1. Place the pizza in the oven, towards the back, it will cook in about 2 minutes, but watch it, and half way through cooking, move it closer to the front of the oven.
  2. Remove it from the oven, allow it to sit for a minute then slice and serve.

Indoor Oven with Pizza Stone

  1. Or if using a pizza stone indoors: preheat the oven to 400° and allow the stone to preheat for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Assemble the pizza and slide it onto the stone in the oven.
  3. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until it has reached the desired doneness.
