Ingredients
  

  • 1 pizza dough ball
  • Nutella or Nocciolata for a quality organic alternative
  • Tim Tams
  • Peanuts
  • Pomegranate arils
  • Pear slices
  • Apple slices for blind bake

Instructions
 

  • Prepare Dough: 
    Follow any of our dough recipes.
    For this particular bake, we used our cold fermentation dough recipe, opting for a 48 hour fermentation period.
    You will need to prepare the dough at least 24 hours ahead of time.
  • Prepare Apples for Blind Bake: 
    Thinly slice the apples, these will be used during the blind bake to help protect the dough and create a crisp surface. They’ll be removed after baking.
  • Prepare Post-Bake Toppings:
    Slice pears as thinly as you can while keeping some structure.
    Lightly crush the Tim Tams and peanuts.
    Set everything aside for post-bake assembly.
  • Preheat Oven:
    Outdoor Pizza Oven: If using an outdoor pizza like an Ooni pizza oven, aim for a temperature of 450-500°C at the center of your pizza stone. Use an infrared thermometer to ensure accuracy. It should take around 25-30 minutes to reach temperature.
    Home Oven: Place pizza steel or stone inside the oven and preheat to the highest temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  • Prepare Base: 
    On a lightly floured surface, stretch out the dough by hand according to the steps outlined in our dough recipe.
    Once you're happy with the shape of the base, lightly dust your pizza peel and transfer the dough onto the peel.
  • Blind Bake Your Pizza:
    Outdoor Pizza Oven: Launch the pizza into the oven and bake for 60-90 seconds. Keep an eye on the pie and rotate every 10-15 seconds to ensure even cooking and to prevent burning.
    Home Oven: Bake for 7–10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apple slices are lightly caramelised.
  • Assemble Post-Bake Toppings:
    Once baked, remove the apple slices and spread a generous layer of Nutella evenly across the warm crust.
    Arrange the pear slices over the top, scatter pieces of Tim Tam, sprinkle with chopped peanuts, and finish with pomegranate arils for a burst of colour and tang.
  • Serving: 
    Serve immediately while the base is still warm and the Nutella slightly melted. For an extra touch, dust lightly with cocoa powder or drizzle a bit of melted chocolate. Perfect for sharing, or not!
