Homemade Fruit Pizza Food

FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• For the dough, in large mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add 1/4 pound soft butter and work and work finely into flour. Cut cold butter into 1/2-inch pieces and add to bowl. Work in until butter is left pea-sized. Drizzle water over mixture and toss in. If dough is dry, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed. Dough should still be loose in bowl, not a ball. Turn out onto work surface and pull together. Divide into 2 equal portions, flatten each slightly, and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 1 hour before rolling.
• For the fig topping, in a large saucepan, combine all but the last 2 ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until fruit is soft and thickened. Transfer to a food processor and puree until smooth. Add butter and puree to blend. Add remaining zest of 2 lemons and pulse in. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
• To assemble, on a floured surface roll dough into 2 rounds. Place parchment paper on sheet tray, and lightly dust parchment with flour. Place both dough rounds on sheet tray. Spread half of fig topping on each dough round. Top with thinly sliced pears. Fold dough over edges to form a rustic fruit tart. Brush dough folds with egg wash. Place baking sheet on bottom rack in oven Bake 25 to35 minutes in a preheated 375 degree oven, until dough is a light-medium golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Cut tart with pizza wheel to serve.

FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• For the sugar cookie crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Beat the granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon zest, vanilla and egg and beat until incorporated. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix on low speed until just combined. Scrape the dough into a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet and press into an even layer to cover the entire bottom of the skillet. (If the dough becomes too soft to work with, pop the skillet in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes before proceeding.) Prick the dough all over with a fork, leaving a 1-inch border.
• Bake the crust until golden and the edges are set, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool in the skillet on a wire rack, then loosen the edges of the crust with a butter knife and invert onto a platter or cutting board to unmold. Invert again so the crust is right-side up. (To make ahead, let cool, then wrap well in plastic wrap and keep at room temperature.)
• For the topping: Clean out the mixer bowl and add the cream cheese and butter. Beat on medium speed until light and smooth, about 1 minute. Add the honey and vanilla and beat to combine. Add the confectioner's sugar and beat on low speed until just combined. Increase the speed to high and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Refrigerate the topping, covered, until ready to use (stir again until smooth).
• To assemble the fruit pizza, spread the cream cheese topping on the crust in an even layer, leaving a border for the crust. Top with the fruit in a random pattern. Dust with more confectioner's sugar if using just before serving, then cut into slices.

FRUIT PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the grill (or, alternatively, the oven to 350 degrees F)
• In a large skillet, reduce the red wine by half over medium heat and whisk in the confectioners' sugar. When the mixture thickens slightly, gently stir in the blackberries and simmer, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Put the ricotta in a separate bowl. Grate a little orange zest (about 1 teaspoon) over the ricotta, add a pinch of salt and stir to blend.
• Spread an even layer of the ricotta on the pizzas and place on the grill to warm them. Alternatively, bake for 3 to 5 minutes in oven. Warm the blackberry mixture. Note: if the blackberry liquid is thin, strain the blackberries out and reserve them. Reduce the liquid until thick and mix it back in with the blackberries. Top the pizzas with the fruit and serve immediately. Dust with additional powdered sugar, if desired.
