Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F, or follow the temperature listed for your pizza dough recipe instructions. Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.

Shape the pizza dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll or gently stretch the pizza dough into a 10–12 inch circle. Transfer it to the prepared pan, making sure the dough is evenly spread so your pizza crust bakes evenly.

Brush and bake the crust: Lightly brush the edges of the crust with melted butter for a golden, flavorful finish. Bake for about 8–10 minutes, or until the pizza crust is golden and fully cooked through. You’re looking for a lightly crispy pizza crust with a soft center.

Spread the Nutella: Remove the baked crust from the oven and, while it’s still warm, spread a generous layer of Nutella over the surface. Leave a small border around the edges to highlight that beautiful homemade pizza crust.

Add toppings: Top your Nutella pizza with sliced strawberries, bananas, mini marshmallows, chopped hazelnuts, or any of your favorite dessert pizza toppings. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes so everything warms slightly and settles into the chocolate hazelnut spread.

Slice and serve: Cut into slices and serve warm for the best texture and flavor. Finish with a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired for that classic Nutella pizza dessert look.
