S'more Pizza

Hi Friends, and welcome back!  We hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Now that we put our cookie sheets away for awhile, and all of our Christmas decorations are finally packed up, we thought we would get our baking on again.  One thing we begin craving in the fall when the weather gets crisp is s'mores.  We are country girls so grew up with bonfires and s'mores.  We are convinced nostalgia makes them taste even better when we still eat them today.  When Mar found a recipe for s'more pizza, we knew we had to try it.  Kait had a pizza stone and Mar had all of the ingredients.  It was a match made in sisterhood.  Here is how it turned out!






Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup coarsely crumbled graham crackers
• 2 Tablespoons light brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Flour (for dusting)
• 1 pound store bought pizza dough, halved
• Vegetable oil (for drizzling)
• Two 3-ounce bards semisweet chocolate, broken into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions:

1. Set a pizza stone on the bottom of the oven and set a rack on the top shelf
2. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and heat the stone for at least 45 minutes
3. In a food processor, combine the crumbled graham crackers with the sugars, butter, vanilla, and salt.  Process to fine crumbs 
4. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each piece of pizza dough to a 12 inch round

5. Transfer 1 round of dough to a lightly floured pizza peel
6. Very lightly drizzle the round with vegetable oil and gently rub the oil over the dough
7. Slide the dough onto the hot stone and bake for about 2 minutes until it starts to brown on the bottom and puff on top
8. Using your pizza peel, remove the pizza crust and sprinkled with half of the graham cracker crumbs, half of the chocolate, and half of the marshmallows

9. Return the pizza to the stone and bake for 1 minute
10. Transfer the pizza to the top shelf of the oven and bake for about 1 minute, until the marshmallows are browned

11. Sift powdered sugar on top
12. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve right away

13. Repeat with the remaining dough, oil, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate and marshmallows to make a sound pizza
