Avocado Fruit Pizza

Avocado Fruit Pizza Make the dough from the recipe below and bake it

without toppings in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Spread 1 ripe

avocado over the cooked dough, and then add a variety of colorful fresh fruit

such as: kiwi, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, oranges, blueberries,

blackberries or pineapple

Optional: add unsweetened coconut, cinnamon or fresh squeezed lemon juice

over the fruit.

Note: You can purchase pizza dough from many supermarkets, bakeries or

pizza restaurants if you don’t want to make the homemade dough.

Bruschetta Pizza: Let the dough reach room temperature. Stretch out the

dough onto a greased pizza pan. Bake the dough in a 400 degree oven for

about 20 minutes or until browned.

Chop 3 vine ripened or garden tomatoes and place in a bowl. Stack about 20

fresh basil leaves on top of each other and roll into a log. Thinly slice the basil

and add to the tomatoes. Add a drizzle (1Tbsp.) of olive oil and a pinch of Coral

Sea salt. Add 2 to 3 crushed garlic cloves. Gently toss the mixture together

and spread over the top of the baked dough. Cut and serve. Optional you can

put this wonderful mixture over the raw dough and bake for about 20 minutes.

Both are amazing!!

Pizza Dough

Ingredients for the pizza dough:

• 2 cup warm water

• 2 ½ tsp. active dry yeast or 1 packet

• ½ tsp. Coral Sea salt or less

• 2 Tbsp. grape seed or Avocado oil

• 4 cups flour (give or take 1/2 cup...depending on the heat & humidity)

• Optional 1 Tbsp. Herbs de Provence or a combination of Parsley, Basil and

Oregano

• Optional 1 Tbsp. honey or Agave for the Fruit pizza dough

Directions For the pizza dough:

1. In a large mixing bowl, stir yeast or dissolve it with your fingers into

warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes or until bubbles form and

mixture starts to foam. This tells you that the yeast is alive and working.

Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix. Once that flour is

incorporated, start adding flour in bit by bit until you get the pizza dough

to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it, it

doesn't stick to your hands. Once you reach this stage, knead for 6

minutes. Turn a timer on! Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6

minutes! That seems to be the magical number. The dough should be

smooth and easy to work with. And the bowl should be clean!

2. Lightly grease the bowl and the dough so it doesn't dry out, cover with

plastic wrap or cover the bowl with a damp clean towel and let it rise 1-2

hours.

Directions for making pizza:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add your desired toppings to the

stretched out dough leaving about a 1” area with no sauce or

toppings for the crust.

2. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Ovens vary so it may take longer or less

time to bake so make sure to check the oven and possibly reset

your timer.
