A delightful cherry dessert pizza topped with a golden crumble, perfect for every occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water (about 105°-110°F)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil, divided
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling (or about 2 cups homemade filling)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast in a large bowl. Let it rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Pour half of the vegetable oil into the yeast mixture, setting the remaining oil aside.
- Add the all-purpose flour and kosher salt to the yeast mixture and stir until a soft, sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover it, and let rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper and pour the remaining vegetable oil onto the pan.
- Press the risen dough into the prepared pan evenly to the edges, creating dimples on the surface.
- Bake the dough for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Combine melted butter and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Remove crust from the oven and brush the butter-sugar mixture evenly over it. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust.
- Mix flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and kosher salt in a medium bowl. Stir in melted butter until clumps form, then sprinkle evenly over the cherry pie filling.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes until the crumble is golden brown and crisp.
- Whisk together confectioners’ sugar, whole milk, and almond extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm dessert pizza.
- Allow the pizza to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute dairy butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk. Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to enhance flavor.
