Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g) instant yeast
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (150 g) Nutella spread
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) chopped hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, whisk 3/4 cup warm water with 1 teaspoon instant yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let sit for 5-7 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let it rise: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 45-60 minutes until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Place pizza stone in oven if using.
  6. Shape the dough: Punch down dough and roll into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.
  7. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes until golden and set.
  8. Remove crust from oven and spread 1/2 cup Nutella evenly over warm crust.
  9. Top with 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries. Bake for another 5 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and fresh mint leaves. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Par-bake the crust to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Choose firm, ripe strawberries to maintain texture. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup. Adjust flour dusting to avoid tough crust.
