Chocolate and Fruit Pizza with Bittersweet Chocolate Sauce

  1. Place a baking stone on the lower rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  2. Remove the dough from the bowl and punch down on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, beat together the mascarpone, honey, and orange flavored liqueur.
  5. Set aside.
  6. In a small saucepan, scald the cream.
  7. Place the chocolate in a large bowl and add the hot cream.
  8. Let sit for 2 minutes.
  9. Add the oil and whisk until smooth.
  10. Let cool until almost room temperature and a pouring consistency.
  11. Shape the dough into a 14-inch round.
  12. Lightly dust a baker's peel with flour.
  13. Place the dough on the peel.
  14. Slide from the peel onto the hot baking stone and cook until the crust is set, 8 to 10 minutes.
  15. (Alternatively, place the dough on a lightly oiled large baking sheet and bake.)
  16. Place the baked crust on a large cutting board or work surface.
  17. Spread with the mascarpone mixture over the crust, and arrange the kiwi and strawberry slices in a decorative pattern over the mascarpone.
  18. Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over the fruit and dust with the confectioners' sugar.
  19. Slice, garnish with the mint and serve immediately.
  20. 1 cup warm water, about 110 degrees F
  21. 1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast
  22. 2 tablespoons sugar
  23. 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  24. 3 cups bleached all-purpose flour
  25. 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  26. In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar and 1 tablespoon oil and stir to combine.
  27. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
  28. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  29. Add the cocoa and continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until all the flour is incorporated but the dough is still slightly sticky.
  30. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
  31. Oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil.
  32. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to oil all sides.
  33. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  34. Use as directed.
  35. Yield: 1 large or 2 medium pizza crusts
