1 tsp olive oil

4 tbsps Nutella ® Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread

Steps
1
Place a pizza stone in the oven, on the middle rack. Preheat oven to 450 Degrees F. In a medium bowl add yeast and sugar, then add warm water. Allow the yeast to active in a warm spot, for about 10 minutes.
2
Sift 3 cups flour and salt into a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the yeast mixture. Beat for 1 minute on high. Turn off the machine and switch the paddle to a dough hook.
3
Add half the remaining flour and mix on high for about a minute. Add the remaining flour. Scrap the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Continue mixing for 1 more minute.
4
The dough will be sticky. Using a rubber spatula, remove the dough onto a floured surface. Knead the dough and form into a ball. Pour olive oil in the center of the dough. Coat with hands and transfer to large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel.
5
Allow the dough to rest in a warm place for at least 30 minutes. Coat the inside of a plastic snack bag with cooking spray. Add in the pecans and shake around. Set Aside.
6
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 even pieces. Shape each ball into a round and cover with a damp kitchen towel. Allow to rest for 20 minutes in a warm spot.
7
On a well-floured surface, one at a time, stretch each ball out by hand to about 9” inches. Make an indentation to create a crust. Using a fork, poke holes in the center of the dough to prevent the dough from rising in the middle.
8
Carefully slide the dough onto the hot stone. Bake about for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to cooling rack.
9
Once cool enough to handle, spread an even layer of Nutella from the center towards the crust. Top with blueberries, peaches, pecans, and basil. Cut into slices and serve.
