For the Pizza Dough:

- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 egg
For the Bavarian Cream:
- 2 cups whole milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream whipped

Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter, egg, and yeast mixture. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 2: Make the Bavarian Cream
Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. In a medium saucepan, heat the milk until just below boiling. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Slowly pour hot milk into the yolk mixture while whisking constantly. Return to saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and gelatin. Let cool slightly, then fold in whipped cream gently.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza Base
