- 1/4 cup capers
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, drained and thinly sliced
- 4 ounces freshly grated pecorino Romano
- 4 ounces bel paese, sliced
- 1/2 cup jarred Italian eggplant
- 4 jumbo shrimp, halved, de-veined, and grilled
- 4 sprigs basil, leaves only, roughly torn
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil, plus more for greasing the pans
- Grilled Pizza Dough, recipe follows
- 1 1/3 cups lukewarm water
- 1 package active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for coating
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
Directions
-
1Preheat a grill with coals on one half and bricks on the other (so that there is a hot and cool side).
-
2Assemble all of your topping ingredients on a big platter.
-
3Lightly oil a sheet pan and roll and stretch one ball of dough until it is approximately 12-inches in length and 8-inches across.
-
4It is not necessary to make a perfect circle, but the dough should be an even thickness of 1/8-inch.
-
5Carefully stretch the dough onto the hot side of the grill and cook until the dough puffs on top, crisps on the bottom, and grill marks appear, about 1 to 2 minutes.
-
6Flip the dough onto the cool side of the grill and brush the cooked side with olive oil.
-
7Quickly and sparingly assemble the toppings of your choice, such as tomato puree, fontina, and prosciutto di Parma, capers, and red peppers; or tomato puree, pecorino Romano, bel paese, grilled jumbo shrimp, and jarred Italian eggplant.
-
8Garnish with torn basil leaves.
-
9Feel free to improvise the toppings and come up with your own.
-
10Once the pizza has been dressed, season it with salt and pepper, to taste, drag it over to the hot side of the grill, and cook until the ingredients are heated through.
-
11(If the pizza browns too quickly, pull it to the cool side and cover the grill to finish cooking.)
-
12Using a wide spatula or two pairs of tongs, carefully lift the pizza onto a cutting board and divide into 6 or 8 pieces.
-
13Serve right away.
-
14Repeat with the remaining dough.
-
15In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, and molasses and stir gently to mix.
-
16Set aside for five minutes until bubbly and foamy.
-
17Add the salt, to taste, and oil and stir to mix.
-
18In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours.
-
19Add the flours to the yeast mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
-
20Divide the dough into six equal pieces.
-
21Roll into balls and place on an oiled baking pan.
-
22Brush the balls with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap.
-
23Let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
-
24When the grill is ready, oil a second baking sheet and flatten one ball of dough into a 10 to 12-inch piece about 1/8-inch thick.
-
25A perfect circle is less crucial than even thickness.
-
26Cook's Note: Dough can be held for 1 day in the refrigerator.
-
27Let sit 1 hour at room temperature before grilling.
