Thanks to the generosity of a fellow Doper, I have come into the possession of a rather hefty quantity of Nutella. Like, way more than I could eat in any healthy amount of time. (If you time-traveled back a few decades and told 8-year-old me that someday I would say, “I can’t eat all this Nutella” _and mean it_ she’d be appalled.) It was the feature of a lovely care package and I’d certainly like to put it to the very best use possible. Anyway, I currently work at a pizza joint, and I’d like to combine these two factors in my life, and figure out how to make a dessert pizza. Don’t want the Nutella to burn or melt off, of course. Maybe I could bake the dough “naked” and then slather on the sweet stuff while it’s still warm but after it’s out of the oven? I’m thinking sliced strawberries could be involved. Or maybe maraschino cherries? Anyone ever done something like this before? Any ideas or suggestions? ---

I’ve made dessert pizza before. You bake the crust nekkid. (The crust, I mean, your attire being none of my business.) I would let the crust cool until it’s just slightly warm. Then spread the Nutella on it and add the fruit. If it were my pizza, I’d top it with strawberries, bananas (though those might turn an unattractive brown if you don’t dip them in lemon juice), some sliced almonds, maybe some kiwi. I love your maraschino cherry idea, though I’d probably use them instead of strawberries and not alongside them. How nice that someone sent you such delicious goodness! Well deserved, my dear. ---

Ooooo, yummy. I’ve never tried a dessert pizza. The closest I’ve gotten is those cookie “pizzas” you can get from Aldi next to the take-n-bakes. I did find two recipes on the Web that caught my eye though, maybe you could bring some of these to life? 1. [Strawberry Nutella Pizza](https://lilluna.com/strawberry-nutella-pizza/) 2. [Nutella dessert pizza with cinnamon streusel](https://bluebowlrecipes.com/deep-dish-nutella-dessert-pizza/) ---

Sliced almonds mever occurred to me, but I like that! Keep ‘em comin’ and I’ll try to post pics of whatever we try! ---

What about making the base out of brioche instead of just bread? [insert Marie Antoinette quip here] ---

You could do a stuffed crust with Nutella in addition to the Nutella topping. ---

My daughter makes a dessert pizza. The crust is made with sugar cookie dough (Pillsbury tube). She spreads fruit flavored cream cheese on the crust after it’s baked and cooled. Then tops it with a variety of fruits: Kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc. ---

Yes, this. I’ve made Nutella cigars with phyllo and they are addictively good. Try a [Nutella calzone](https://cakecrumbs.me/2013/04/16/strawberry-and-nutella-mini-calzones/) or stromboli. There’s recipes for them on the 'net. That would keep the filling contained. ---

None of that dessert pizza sounds any good imo. Just dip into it with pretzels or bread sticks. ---

Touchee, however it does start off “mix 250 grams of flour, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and around 125g of warm water. Knead the dough well until you get a homogeneous ball and let it rest for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F)…” and so on, so it is explicit enough so you do not have to be a super expert to attempt it.
