Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• In a large bowl combine 1 cup of the all-purpose flour, 1 envelope Fleischmann's® RapidRise Yeast (undissolved), 1/4 cup sugar and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
• Add 2/3 cup very warm water (120° to 130°F), 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons melted butter or margarine; mix until well blended, about 1 minute.
• Gradually add enough of the remaining flour (up to the total 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 cups called for) to make a soft dough that forms a ball and is slightly sticky.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes, adding small amounts of flour only if necessary.
• Just prior to finishing kneading, work in 1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed.
• Place the dough in a bowl, cover loosely, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
• With floured hands or a floured rolling surface, pat or roll each ball into a 6-inch circle.
• Place the 6-inch rounds on greased baking sheets (three per sheet).
• Bake 11–15 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown.
• Remove crusts from the oven and allow them to cool.
• Serve cooled crusts with an assortment of sauces and toppings and let guests top their dessert pizzas as desired.
