Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 can cherry pie filling (21 ounces)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar (for crumble)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (for crumble)
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, granulated sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add half of the vegetable oil to the yeast mixture, then mix in flour and kosher salt to form a soft dough.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a pizza pan with parchment paper; pour remaining vegetable oil onto the pan.
- Shape the risen dough on the prepared pan to cover the edges evenly; bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
- Mix melted butter and granulated sugar in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the baked crust, then spread cherry pie filling evenly on top.
- For the crumble topping, mix flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, kosher salt, and melted butter until clumps form. Sprinkle over the cherry filling.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 13-15 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
- Prepare glaze by whisking together confectioners' sugar, whole milk, and almond extract until smooth; drizzle over warm pizza.
- Allow cooling for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
