What crust do you use for fruit pizza?

Use your favorite pizza dough to make a fruit-filled pizza. You can also go with the traditional soft sugar cookie crust or pie crust or try something new like a brioche dough.

Can you use frozen cherries for cherry pizza?

If fresh cherries are out of season, use frozen fruit, but you will need to thaw and drain them before topping your pizza.

Can you make pizza without a pizza stone?

If a pizza stone is not available, use an inverted baking sheet or a large cast-iron skillet in an upside-down position. Preheat the cooking tools in the same way as the pizza stone.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F/245 degrees C and place a pizza stone on the middle rack. Heat it an additional 10 to 15 minutes to ensure the stone is well heated (do not remove it from the oven).
Wash, pit, and cut cherries in half. In a mixing bowl, place the softened butter, icing (powdered) sugar, half of the egg, almond flour, and all-purpose flour and mix with a rubber spatula.
Roll out the dough on a well-floured work surface, giving it a round shape about 10-inch/25 cm in diameter and about 3 mm thick.
Transfer the dough onto a well-floured metal pizza peel. Spread the almond mixture on the pizza dough, leaving about 1/3-inch/1 cm around the edge. Arrange cherries on top, slightly pressing them down. Sprinkle the pizza with the flaked almonds.
Carefully slide the pizza from the pizza peel onto the pizza stone in the oven. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Use the peel, remove the pizza from the oven, slice it, and immediately enjoy it.

Notes

Read on how to pit cherries.
Leave cherries whole instead of cutting them in half if desired.
