The sweet treat for the week, Mini Chocolate Pizzas

Ingredients (8-10 mini pizzas):

– 100 ml water

– 25 ml oil

– 15 g fresh yeast

– 200 g strong flour

– Chocolate spread

– Pistachios, strawberries, hazelnuts, raspberries, almonds (for decorating)

Method:

Heat the water in the microwave (it should be lukewarm), dilute the yeast into the water, and mix with the oil in a bowl.

Add the flour and salt.

Stir to blend ingredients well, until the mixture becomes compact. When it becomes difficult to continue stirring, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for a few minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF, gas mark 4).

Transfer the dough back to the bowl. Cover with a cloth and let it stand in a warm place for half an hour, until it has doubled in volume.

Form balls and shape them into small pizzas using a rolling pin.

Place the pizzas, that fit, on a baking sheet lined with greaseproof paper and spread a little chocolate spread on each of them.

Bake for 30 minutes.

Take out of the oven and add a little more chocolate spread at the centre for them to have two different textures.

Decorate with chopped berries and nuts.

Note: You can use any chocolate spread. You can also use any other type of nut or fresh fruit to decorate the mini pizzas.
