Pizza Dough

Apple Filling

Toppings

Method

Pizza Dough

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until combined.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Apple Filling

  1. 5

    Prepare the Apples

    Core and slice the honey crisp apples thinly. Place them in a bowl.

  2. 6

    Season the Apples

    Add sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice to the sliced apples. Toss until evenly coated.

Caramel Sauce

  1. 7

    Make the Caramel

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns a golden brown color. Stir continuously to prevent burning.

  2. 8

    Add Butter and Cream

    Once the sugar is melted, add the butter and stir until melted. Gradually add the heavy cream while stirring until smooth.

  3. 9

    Finish with Vanilla

    Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly before using.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 10

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

  2. 11

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a large pizza shape on a floured surface.

  3. 12

    Add Apple Filling

    Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet. Distribute the apple filling evenly over the dough.

  4. 13

    Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

  5. 14

    Drizzle with Caramel

    Once baked, drizzle the homemade caramel sauce over the pizza while it's still warm.

  6. 15

    Finish with Toppings

    Drizzle apple balsamic glaze and add whipped cream as desired. Slice and serve warm.
