Hazenut Bananas Foster Pizza
Ingredients
- 3 bananas peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
- 1 cup hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanila extract
- 2 tbsp banana liquor
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts
- 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes
- chocolate sauce
- 1 ball of pizza dough
Instructions
- Prepare the Basic NY Style Pizza Dough according to the recipe. Stretch the pizza dough and place it on your semolina-dusted pizza peel. Use a fork to lightly poke 20-30 holes in the dough and set aside.
- Using medium heat, melt the butter in a heavy-duty satué pan over a Bull Side Burner. Continuously whisk and cook until the butter is melted and bubbly. Mix in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Arrange the bananas in the butter mixture and cook for 60 seconds or until caramelized. Use a fish spatula to turn the bananas over and cook the other side. Drizzle the banana liquor over the bananas and sauce. Place a lighter right on top of the bananas and sauce. Ignite the lighter and alcohol and flambé while gently shaking the pan. Once the flame goes out, remove the pan from the Bull Side Burner.
- Bake the pizza dough in a preheated Bull Pizza Oven until the crust is golden. Remove the pizza crust from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Spread the hazelnut spread over the pizza, followed by the bananas and sauce. Top with nuts and chocolate sauce. Place the pizza back in the Bull Pizza Oven for 10-20 seconds to warm the toppings, then remove.
- Slice the pizza and serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
