Sweet Shortcrust Pizza Steps
In a large mixing bowl, pour the flour together with the butter cut into pieces, add the sugar, vanilla extract, half a teaspoon of baking powder, and start kneading with your hands.
Once a sandy mixture is formed, add the eggs and a pinch of salt, kneading until a smooth dough ball is obtained. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes in the fridge. Then, take the dough and roll it out on a sheet of parchment paper to create a thin layer. Cut out a disc about 10 inches in diameter, I used a springform cake pan.
After creating the disc, use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 8 pieces and transfer the shortcrust with all the parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the strawberries: Wash them, remove the leaves and blend them, add the powdered sugar and mix well. Now just fill the shortcrust with the blended strawberries.
Take the marshmallows, break them into pieces and decorate the pizza together with the chocolate chips.
Back in the oven for 5 minutes and our shortcrust pizza is ready to be enjoyed. Perfect for any party, it’s the joy of the little ones… Enjoy!
