Chocolate, Hazelnut, and Banana Pizza

CAL/SERV: 500

YIELDS: 8

PREP TIME: 20 mins

COOK TIME: 6 mins

TOTAL TIME: 26 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. fresh pizza dough
  • 1/2 c. chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
  • 2 bananas

Directions

Prepare outdoor grill for covered, direct grilling on medium-low. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. On one end of oiled cookie sheet, with fingertips, spread and flatten 1 piece of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. (Edge does not need to be even.) On same cookie sheet, repeat with another piece of dough. Repeat with a second oiled cookie sheet and remaining dough. Place all 4 pieces of dough, oiled side down, on hot grill grate. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until grill marks appear on underside (dough will stiffen and puff).

With tongs, turn crusts over, remove from grill, and place, grilled side up, on work surface. Divide chocolate-hazelnut spread among crusts; spread evenly, leaving 1/2-inch border, and return to hot grill grate. Cover grill and cook pizzas 3 to 4 minutes longer or until undersides are evenly browned and cooked through. Transfer to cutting board; arrange banana slices on tops of pizzas. Makes 8 servings.
