Ingredients

• 1 ball (about 12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 cups (thinly sliced) Rhubarb stalks
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (for dusting) Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Dust your work surface with a little flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Lightly sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or a flat baking sheet to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared pizza peel or baking sheet.

Step 4

In a small bowl, toss the sliced rhubarb with the granulated sugar and set aside for 5-10 minutes. This will help to slightly soften the rhubarb and release its natural tanginess.

Step 5

In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese with the honey until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the mascarpone layer.

Step 7

Drain any excess liquid from the sugared rhubarb and scatter the slices evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the entire pizza.

Step 9

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 10

Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chopped fresh mint leaves over the top for a burst of freshness.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy this sweet-tangy twist on pizza as a dessert or a creative appetizer!
