100 Miles: Banana and Passionfruit Brioche Pizzas

Tonight, I had some Passionfruit to "use up". John and I like to use things up, we both hate wasting food, so invariably I look up the index on my favourite cookbooks and I found a perfect 100 mile recipe that we both decided was a great Pizza Dessert for our wood fired pizza nights.

"Decadence Desserts by Philip Johnson" is the inspiration:

Now, be warned, I have a breadmaker, so, if you dont - be prepared for a bit of elbow grease!

Banana and Passionfruit Brioche Pizzas (100 Mile Friendly)

Brioche
1 teaspoon dried yeast
200gm Kialla Organic Unbleached Flour
2 Eggs "from the girls next door"
2 tbs of Bundaberg Sugar
60gm Barambah Organic Butter cubed

8 Bananas from Food Connect
Caster sugar for sprinkling
12 Passionfruit from Food Connect
Thick Cream from Providence Farm
Icing sugar for dusting (I didnt use it, sweet enough for me)

To make the brioche, put the yeast, flour, eggs, sugar, 2 tbs waterand a pinch of salt in a breadmaker :) on dough setting or a large bowl :{ and mix well to combine. Knead, either by hand, or in an electric mixer using a dough hook, for 8-10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Add the butter and continue to knead until all the butter is incorporated. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 230 degrees celcius. Lightly grease six baking trays or six pizza trays.

Place the dough on a floured surface and knock back. Divide into six even pieces. Roll each piece to a thin 20-22 cm circle and place on the prepared trays. Set aside for a further 20 minutes.

Slice the bananas diagonally and arrange over the pizza bases. Sprinkle with caster sugar and bake two trays at a time for 6-8 minutes, or until the brioche is golden and cooked.

Carefully transfer the hot pizzas to serving plates. Spoon the pulp from the passionfruit over the bananas, dot with small spoonfuls of cream and dust optionally with icing sugar.

Thumbs up from the boss. It was light and delectable! This will replace our existing dessert pizza that contains dried figs from turkey.
