Print Recipe

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.
