Cinnamon Roll Dessert Pizza
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE TOPPINGS:
(Do this step the day before or at least 2 hours before making pizzas to allow the oven to cool down).
- Preheat Frigidaire oven to 350F degrees on the bake setting.
- Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine. Stir in melted butter.
- Add the flour and press the mixture into crumbs with your hands to form a coarse, pebbly texture.
- Bake the streusel on a parchment-lined baking sheet until lightly golden brown and fragrant, about 12-15 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PIZZA:
- Remove pizza dough from the refrigerator and dust lightly with flour. Let it come to room temperature for 30 – 60 minutes.
- Add the Pizza Shield and Stone to the correct rack (position 7 for ranges and position 5 for wall ovens).
- Select Stone-Baked Pizza Mode and follow the instructions to begin preheating.
- Combine the whipped cream cheese or mascarpone cheese in a small bowl with the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. The mixture should be easily spreadable. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture and add an additional 1 tablespoon of heavy cream so that it reaches a spoonable consistency to drizzle at the end.
- Gently stretch the pizza dough, lifting up the dough and rotating it with your hands to allow it to stretch with its own weight. Dust with additional flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Lightly dust a pizza peel with an even coating of cornmeal or semolina flour (note: use only enough to prevent sticking, as too much will cause it to burn in the oven). Transfer the dough to the prepared peel.
- Gently spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the dough.
- Give the pizza a gentle shake on the peel to make sure it moves. If any spots appear to be sticking, gently lift that corner and give it a little more flour. Shake the peel again and add more flour, if necessary.
- When the preheat cycle ends, transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone. After two minutes, the pizza should be evenly golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a plate or pizza pan.
- Brush the crust with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Top with the cinnamon streusel mixture. Allow to cool for 1 minute before slicing and serving with warm chocolate sauce for dipping.
