Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 2 cups (thinly sliced) Rhubarb stalks
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (for dusting) Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Dust your work surface with a little flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Lightly sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or a flat baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared pizza peel or baking sheet.
In a small bowl, toss the sliced rhubarb with the granulated sugar and set aside for 5-10 minutes. This will help to slightly soften the rhubarb and release its natural tanginess.
In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with the honey until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the mascarpone layer.
Drain any excess liquid from the sugared rhubarb and scatter the slices evenly over the cheese layer.
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the entire pizza.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the top for a burst of freshness.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy this sweet-tangy twist on pizza as a dessert or a creative appetizer!
