- The dough got soggy, why?
- The fruits released too much juice. Cut them thinner, or blot the moisture from them before baking.
Pizza ai Frutti Tropicali (Tropical Fruit Pizza)
Dessert pizza is a divisive topic, but if done well, it's brilliant. Here, tomato sauce is replaced by sweet-creamy ricotta, and the crispness of the dough evokes fruit tartlets. The water evaporates from the fruits baked at high heat, concentrating their flavour and slightly caramelising them.

✓
Spread with ricotta, place the fruits on top.
Tip: The fat content of the ricotta protects the dough from the moisture of the fruits.
3
✓
Sprinkle with coconut (this will toast in the oven).

Tip: Never bake the honey and mint, as they will burn and become bitter.
