🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Get Started: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Make the Churro Dough: In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, ½ cup of butter, ¼ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the butter is fully melted.
- Add Flour: Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until a smooth dough forms. It should pull away from the sides of the pan. Don't worry if it seems like hard work; a little elbow grease is key here!
- Incorporate Eggs: Let the dough cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
- Pipe the Dough: Transfer the churro dough to a large piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the dough in a spiral shape onto the prepared baking sheet, creating a large pizza base. Start from the center and work your way outwards.
- Bake the Churro Base: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the churro base is golden brown and firm to the touch. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the churro base is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Glaze the Base: Once the churro base is out of the oven, let it cool slightly. Then, brush the glaze evenly over the top. The warmth of the base will help the glaze to melt and spread nicely.
- Prepare the Fruit Toppings: Wash and slice your favorite fruits. I like using a mix of strawberries, kiwi, mango, and raspberries for a burst of color and flavor.
- Arrange the Fruit: Arrange the sliced fruit artfully over the glazed churro pizza base. Get creative with your design! You can create patterns or simply scatter the fruit randomly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the churro pizza with a pizza cutter and serve immediately. The combination of the warm churro base, sweet glaze, and fresh fruit is simply divine!
