300 g Strawberries (sliced, tops removed)
50 g White Sugar
30 g Lemon Juice (approx half a lemon)

Crumble Topping

Instructions

Before creating your sourdough strawberry crumble pizza, you'll need to assemble the ingredients.
Sourdough Pizza Dough - stretch and shape a portion of sourdough pizza dough into a round. Place onto a pizza peel with plenty of semolina flour to ensure it doesn't stick. I recommend 250g of pizza dough.
Vanilla Cream Cheese - mix the cream cheese and vanilla paste together and stir until smooth.
Marinated Strawberries - slice the strawberries and place into a bowl along with the lemon juice. Make sure all the strawberries are covered in lemon juice before adding the sugar and stirring thoroughly to ensure all the strawberries are coated. Set this aside for at least 10 minutes for the strawberries to marinate and leech out some of their juices.
Brown Sugar Crumble - Place all of the crumble ingredients into a food processor and blitz until it resembles wet sand. Place into the freezer until you're ready to top your pizza.
If you want to make this by hand, mix the dry ingredients together and then rub cold, grated butter into the dry ingredients.
When you're ready to cook your pizza, you'll need preheat your oven (I've used a wood fired pizza oven to cook this pizza but you can cook this in a home oven, wood fired oven or gas fired pizza oven). I recommend 230C to 250C (450F to 480F) for a home oven.
You want to cook the pizza straight away without letting it sit because the strawberries are very wet and will seep into the pizza dough making it wet and soggy so wait for the oven to get to temperature before assembling your pizza.
Assembling The Pizza - To make the sourdough strawberry crumble pizza, start by spreading the base with the vanilla cream cheese, then spread the marinated strawberries over the top (squeezing them out gently before adding), following by an even sprinkling of the brown sugar crumble.
Cooking The Pizza - Cook your pizza in your preferred oven until it's golden and bubbly. The strawberries should be jammy and sourdough pizza dough puffy and golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool a little before topping with vanilla ice cream and slicing up into 6 to 8 slices. Enjoy!
