Begin by preparing the pizza dough. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add olive oil, maple syrup, and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually stir in the flour until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, prepare the vegan Nutella. Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Spread the raw hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
Allow the roasted hazelnuts to cool slightly, then rub them with a clean kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.
In a food processor, blend the hazelnuts until they form a smooth paste. This may take up to 10 minutes, so be patient and scrape down the sides as needed.
Add the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the hazelnut paste. Blend until smooth and creamy; adjust sweetness with more sugar if desired.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Once the pizza dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and roll it out on a floured surface to form a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the pizza dough in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy.
Remove the pizza base from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Spread an even layer of vegan Nutella over the cooled pizza base.
Top the Nutella layer with sliced strawberries, banana, and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
Slice and serve the Vegan Nutella Pizza immediately. Enjoy your sweet and creamy dessert pizza!
