Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Prepare the dough base
    A bowl containing the dry ingredients: flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.

    Place 500g of flour, 3g of yeast, a spoonful of sugar, and a pinch of salt into a large mixing bowl. These ingredients form the foundation for the soft pizza dough.

    Tip: Ensure the yeast is fresh for a better rise.
  2. 2Mix the dough
    Warm water being poured into the flour mixture, being stirred with wooden chopsticks.

    Gradually pour warm water into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Use chopsticks to stir and mix the components until a soft dough begins to form.

    Tip: Add water slowly to achieve the right dough consistency.
  3. 3Knead the dough
    Hands wearing purple gloves kneading the dough in a metal bowl.

    Using your hands, knead the dough directly in the bowl until it becomes smooth and soft. Proper kneading develops the gluten for a nice texture.

    Tip: Wear food-safe gloves for hygiene while kneading.
  4. 4Roll out the pizza crust
    A piece of dough being rolled into a flat circle on a silicone mat using a rolling pin.

    Take a piece of the proofed dough and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a round disk. Aim for a thickness of about 0.5cm for the base.

    Tip: Ensure the thickness is even across the whole crust.
  5. 5Form the crust border
    Hands pinching the edge of the flat dough disk to form a crust border.

    Carefully pinch the edges of the rolled-out dough disk. This creates a distinct border that will hold the toppings in place during baking.

    Tip: Pinch firmly to ensure the border maintains its shape.
  6. 6Vent the pizza base
    A pizza crust inside a round baking pan being pricked with a fork.

    After placing the crust into the baking pan, use a fork to prick holes across the entire surface. This prevents the dough from bubbling up excessively during baking.

    Tip: Prick the dough evenly to ensure consistent venting.
  7. 7Spread the base layers

    Take the pre-baked pizza crust and spread an even layer of strawberry jam across the surface. Follow this by drizzling a little condensed milk over the jam to enhance the milky, sweet flavor profile.

    Tip: Be careful not to spread the jam too close to the pinched edges to prevent it from bubbling over while baking.
  8. 8Arrange the fruit toppings
    A hand wearing a purple glove placing slices of fresh fruit, including banana and dragon fruit, onto the jam-covered pizza dough.

    Carefully place your chosen fresh fruits onto the prepared pizza base. In this recipe, we are using slices of fresh banana, blueberries, and cubes of dragon fruit for a colorful and sweet topping combination.

    Tip: Slice the fruits into uniform sizes so they cook evenly in the oven.
  9. 9Add the cheese topping

    Once the fruit is arranged, generously sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the entire pizza. The cheese will melt into the fruit and jam, creating a creamy and delicious contrast.

    Tip: You can adjust the amount of cheese based on your preference; more cheese will result in a richer, gooey texture.
  10. 10Divide and shape the dough
    A portion of dough being carefully divided into even segments on a silicone baking mat.

    Take the proofed dough and knead it gently to release any trapped air. Roll the dough into a long, uniform log shape on your work surface. Use a bench scraper or knife to cut the log into equal-sized portions, which will form the base for your individual fruit pizzas.

    Tip: Keep the pieces uniform in size to ensure they proof and bake evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can substitute the homemade dough with store-bought dough to save time, though the flavor profile of a fresh, slightly sweetened yeast dough complements the fruit toppings beautifully.
Sogginess usually occurs if the fruits are too watery or if you add too much jam. Make sure to pat your fruits dry before arranging them and avoid spreading the jam all the way to the very edge of the crust.
The mozzarella provides a creamy, savory contrast that balances the sweetness of the fruit and jam, similar to how cheese pairs with fruit on a charcuterie board. It is highly recommended for the authentic flavor profile of this dish.
