Ingredients
To make this delectable British Sticky Toffee Pudding Pizza, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 batch of pizza dough
- 1 cup pitted dates, chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pizza Dough
Start by preparing your favorite pizza dough recipe or using store-bought dough. Follow the instructions to make a batch of pizza dough and let it rise until doubled in size.
Step 2: Make the Sticky Toffee Pudding Filling
In a bowl, combine the chopped dates, baking soda, and boiling water. Let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the dates to soften.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. In another large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the date mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in your pizza dough recipe.
Roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness on a floured surface. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Spread the sticky toffee pudding filling evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 4: Bake and Prepare the Toffee Sauce
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for the time specified in your pizza dough recipe or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
While the pizza is baking, prepare the toffee sauce by combining the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the warm toffee sauce over the top. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
Serve your British Sticky Toffee Pudding Pizza warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
