How to Make It

Prepare your pizza pan by lightly applying cooking spray and then set aside until needed.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Using a large bowl add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Combine thoroughly and then set aside until needed.

Melt the butter or margarine and then stir into the brown sugar. Using a small bowl add the egg, hot water and vanilla flavoring and blend well. Next add the butter mixture to the egg mixture and beat.

Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until completely combined. Flour your hands to prevent sticking and then press this mixture into the prepared pizza pan.

Arrange or sprinkle the nuts, chocolate chips, jelly beans, cherries, chocolate covered candies, coconut, peanut butter chips, and butterscotch chips onto the top of the dessert pizza crust.
