Who knew you could use pizza dough to make dessert? Whether you use store-bought dough or make it from scratch, these sweet stuffed buns are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

  • Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting

  • 1 pound room-temperature Quick Basic Pizza Dough

  • 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash

  • ½ cup Nutella

  • 32 banana slices

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Dust surface lightly with flour. Divide dough into 8 balls; roll into 4-inch rounds. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Let stand, draped with plastic, in a warm place until they double in size, about 30 minutes.

  2. Lightly brush with egg. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Use a knife to slice pita-like pockets; stuff each with 1 tablespoon Nutella and 4 slices banana. Serve immediately.
