Directions:

1. Mix yeast, honey, 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla and the warm water in a small bowl and let it sit for a few minutes. Mixture will start to bubble just a bit and then you know it's ready.

2. Mix flour and salt in a mixing bowl.

3. Slowly stir in liquid mixture and mix very well.

4. Knead dough for a good 5 minutes or until you have a good elastic quality to the bread. If you have a stand mixer or a food processor you can do this step using those. It will make it easier and might take less time. It can also be done by hand very easily.

5. Cover bowl with a wet towel and set aside for at least 30 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 400. You want the oven really hot so make sure you do this at least 30 minutes before you want to cook your pizza.

7. In a medium sized mixing bowl combine rhubarb, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and cornstarch.

8. When dough has doubled in size and oven is hot roll out the dough. I baked mine on a pizza stone but if you don't have one just roll out the dough on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet.

Note: When you place the dough on the baking sheet, make sure you create a lip or edge for this pizza. You will need this to hold in the filling/topping. Trust me! You do NOT want to learn the hard way, like I did the first time I made this. Brown sugar + liquid + hot oven = smoke. And a mess. BIG MESS. So do yourself a favor and make sure you make a nice edge on your pizza. It doesn't have to be huge...it just needs to be there.

9. Pour topping on top of pizza crust and spread around as evenly as possible.

10. Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on edges and the sauce is bubbly.

11. While pizza is baking make the icing.

12. In a stand mixer bowl or with a hand held mixer blend powdered sugar, the remaining vanilla and lemon juice, the butter and milk/water until you have a smooth, somewhat runny icing. Place in a zip-lock bag and set in the fridge until ready to use. (You can also use a piping bag but I don't have those on hand.)

13. When pizza is done take out and let cool for about 5 minutes.

14. Snip off just the very corner of the zip-lock bag and drizzle the frosting over the pizza.

15. Cut and serve.
