s'mores pizza

There have been so many variations of s'mores posted throughout the food blog world recently and I wanted to create a unique version of the classic s'more. I mean I have always loved a good s'more but never been a die hard fan. However, this pizza makes me hope the s'more craze never ends because now I want to try all the other s'more creations out there. I made a flatbread like pizza crust and brushed it with melted butter, topped it with graham cracker crumbs, mini Hershey's bars and mini marshmallows. Throw the pizza in the oven and in twenty minutes you get a perfectly melty, chocolatey, marshmallowy s'more that is gooey and absolutely to die for. I do have to admit I was so excited to take a bite of this pizza that I hardly spent any time trying to get a good shot. Not the best food blogger practice but I'm just impressed I managed to get a picture at all. This pizza didn't last long and I'm already thinking about my next s'more creation. Any suggestions? 

S'mores Pizza

for pizza dough

recipe from allrecipes

3 c. all-purpose flour

1 package active dry yeast

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp white sugar

1 c. warm water (110 degrees F)

for pizza toppings

1/2 tbsp butter, melted

1 tbsp sugar

4 graham crackers, crumbled

3 cups of marshmallows

15 fun sized Hershey's bars, broken into smaller pieces

Preheat the oven to 375°F. 

Combine flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Mix in oil and water. Kneed dough with your hands and roll out half of the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet. I only used half of the pizza dough so if you want to use the entire dough then double the amount of pizza toppings. 

Once the pizza dough is rolled out, brush melted butter on pizza dough and sprinkle pizza edges with sugar. Top pizza with graham cracker crumbs, chocolate pieces, marshmallows. Bake pizza for 20 minutes. Eat right out of the oven! 

grilled peach & prosciutto pizza

Summer is over when school starts, right? Um wrong. I feel like summer passes me by now that I have a job that keeps me at a desk all day. Lucky for me, the farmers market reminds me weekly that summer is still in full swing with their delicious produce. I get so excited when I see peaches arrive at the farmer's market each summer. A juicy, ripe peach is hard to beat and this pizza is the perfect showcase for them. This recipe is summer on a pizza with grilled caramelized peaches, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto and cilantro. Usually I prefer more of a thick, chewy pizza crust but this flatbread like pizza dough was slightly crispy and didn't overpower the toppings. I only used half of the dough for this peach and prosciutto pizza so I could use the other half for a different pizza creation sometime later this week (thinking s'mores pizza). I feel like I cheated on the grill a little by "grilling" these peaches on a lean mean grilling machine because I wanted to grill each individual peach slice. But it worked surprisingly well and I didn't have to worry about the slices falling to the bottom of the grill and creating a mess.
