Cake #54 - Pizza


Tuesday Humour Cake - Pizza.

I admit, this is one of my non-planned, hastily made creations. When it is 9 p.m. and there still is no daily cake ready nor a weakest idea what to make, it is the best to let the last minute panic solve the problem.

For me it means spinning around in the kitchen, looking into cupboards and opening the fridge door for the fifth time with a slight hope that some idea would just jump onto my pan right there... Nope. Not yet. But I trust I always spot something to give me the inspiration. Something.

This time it was these pizza mesh sheets in the cupboard the door of which should not be opened but I did open it anyway.  It is just when you open the door all the little plastic containers and their lids fall down and then the cat catches the cap of your Bubble which also fell on the floor and then you see what a mess the cupboard actually is and you want to close the door but you cannot because the things that fell out do not fit in there any more and... No. I did not end up organising the cupboard. This time. I just took out the mesh sheets and decided to make a sweet pizza. 


Sweet Pizza 

Dough
200 ml lukewarm water
20 g fresh yeast
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp sugar
500 ml strong white flour
3 tbsp sunflower oil

Filling
Red jam 
Cream cheese
White chocolate
Ground almond
Pink sugar paste or even Chocolate Salami
Fresh mint

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water.
2. Add salt and sugar and mix well.
3. Start adding flour gradually.
4. After you have kneaded in about half of the flour, add oil.
5. Knead in more flour until your dough is not sticky any more.
6. Leave the dough to rise in a warm place until double in size, for about half an hour.
7. Divide the dough into two and roll two round pizzas, about  Ø 30 cm.
8. Preheat the oven to 250 C / 480 F.
9. Spread jam on pizzas and add a few spoonfuls of cream cheese.
10. Bake in the oven on the mesh sheets for 5-7 minutes.
11. Add the rest of the fillings. If you add grated white chocolate right after you have taken the pizza out of the oven it will melt a little and look more like melted cheese.
12. Fool you family and leave the pizzas on the kitchen counter together with a bottle of garlic sauce.
