Ingredients
Pizza
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp evaporated cane juice
- 1 tsp fresh yeast
- 7 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp orange zest
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter
Pineapple
- 1/2 cup evaporated cane juice
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 vanilla bean split and seeds scraped
- 2 cups fresh pineapple cut to a medium dice
Pizza Sauce
- 3/4 cups raspberry puree
- 1/2 cup evaporated cane juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp crème fraiche
- 2 pints fresh organic strawberries, hulled and sliced thin
- 4 ounces cream of coconut for garnish
- Sifter with 1/4 cup powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
For the Pizza:
- Place flour, cane juice, yeast and 4 eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on high until combined. Reduce speed to medium and add salt, both zests, and remaining 3 eggs one at a time until dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Place dough in a floured bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let rest at room temperature for 3 hours. When doubled in volume, punch down, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove from refrigerator, punch down the dough, wrap with plastic again and refrigerate overnight.
For the Pineapple:
- Heat cane juice in a saucepan over medium heat until it becomes light caramel. Remove from heat and add lemon juice; stir until smooth. Add in vanilla bean and seeds and pineapple. Cook until caramelized, remove from heat and reserve.
For the Pizza Sauce:
- Place puree, cane juice and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Reduce by 75 percent. Cool to room temperature and add crème fraiche. Reserve.
Pizza Assembly:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove dough from refrigerator and divide into 8 equal portions. Shape each piece of dough into a circle. Brush with raspberry pizza sauce, place on a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. If using sheet pans or cookie pans 4 pizzas should fit on a pan. When done, dough will bounce back when poked with a finger.
- Remove from oven, dust each pizza with powdered sugar, top with caramelized pineapple, sliced strawberries and drizzle with cream of coconut. Serve immediately.
