But we have yet to see anything like this: Brigadeiro Pizza! Combining the delicious chocolate flavors found in Brazilian treat, brigadeiros, with Brandon’s one of a kind pizza making skills- and you’ve got yourself a winning dessert recipe.

Brandon is a huge part of the success in Utah foodie community and we welcome him with open arms to the Gygi kitchen to share with you his secrets to pizza success- and a special treat with a dessert twist!

Start with Brandon’s Traditional Neapolitan Pizza Crust. All the instructions, steps and tools are found over here.

While you’re waiting for the dough to rise, make your Brigadeiro filling (recipe below). Instead of refrigerating the filling, and scooping it into balls, you’ll leave it on the stove and keep it warm.

Once the dough is ready, you’ll form and bake the dough in the oven with no toppings, just the dough. This will bake faster than a traditional pizza, because there are no toppings on the dough, so keep a close eye on it.
