ingredients
1 x pizza dough recipe (halve the salt for a slightly sweeter dough)
1 x pkt frozen blueberries
1 1/2 cups brown sugar

icing sugar, dusted
melted chocolate, drizzled on top

to do
Pre-heat oven to 200C for fifteen minutes.
Make pizza dough according to directions in the above link.
Place blueberries in a colander and rest over a bowl, allow to de-frost.
Divide pizza dough evenly into 14 small dough balls.
Flatten out dough ball, using the palm of your hand to 0.5cm thick.
Spoon teaspoonfuls of blueberries and a generous pinch of brown sugar on the middle of each pizza round. (add a little ricotta cheese, optional) Fold the furthest dough side back towards you, covering all the blueberries and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and mixture.
Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown and lightly puffed. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Transfer to a wire cake cooling rack and drizzle with melted chocolate or dust with icing sugar!
