This pizza reminds me of my Dessert Pizza, but instead of eating it for dessert, you get to eat for breakfast.
I knew that this recipe had the potential to be delicious, but I did not know just how delicious it was going to be. I looked forward to eating the leftovers for breakfast the next day.
Mixed Berry Breakfast Pizza
Ingredients:
- 1 ball pizza dough, about 1 pound
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup vanilla sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 16 ounces frozen berries, thawed
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Transfer pizza dough to a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Brush the melted butter over the entire dough.
- Combine the vanilla sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons over the melted butter on the pizza dough.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
- Transfer pizza to a cooling rack.
- While the pizza dough is cooling, mix together the cheese, cream, lemon juice and zest in a medium bowl.
- Spread over the cooled dough and top with mixed berries.
- Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar, if desired.
Notes:
You can buy vanilla sugar at some stores or you can make it by combining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the seeds from 1 vanilla bean.
You can substitute fresh berries for the frozen.
