Equipment

  • 1 Grill

Ingredients
  

  • Bag of pre-made pizza dough Trader Joes, Whole Foods and most grocery stores have a great pre-made dough. Get the fresh kind in the bag, not the dough in a can.
  • Several Splashes Olive Oil We love Graza
  • Several Handfuls Fresh Mozzarella Buy the fresh mozzarella (like Bel Gioso) in a log and spend the 3 minutes to grate it - it's so much better
  • Several Cut tomatoes
  • Several pieces torn prosciutto
  • 1 handful fresh arugula
  • Several splashes truffle oil TRUFF is a must-try
  • 1 squeeze hot honey Mike's Hot Honey is the best - we have tried many and it can't be beat.
  • Olive oil spray (or cooking spray) for the grill
  • Several splashes Balsamic Glaze (Not Balsamic Vinegar) We like Nonna Pia's - the perfect consistency
  • Several pinches Good, chunky sea salt, like Maldon We use Maldon on everything

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to 400 degrees (or higher)
  • Prepare all of your toppings and bring them outside next to your grill - you'll need them on hand
  • Toss some flour on your counter and grab a fist-sized chunk of dough and roll it out to be about 1/8" thick. We often roll ours into a long oval, flatbread-style
  • Once dough is rolled out to 1/8" thickness, use a fork to poke the dough throughout. This is called "docking" and we do it so the dough doesn't get large bubbles when cooking
  • Bring your dough out to the grill, and spray some olive oil spray on the grill
  • Place the dough directly on the (clean) grill. Grill it, covered, for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it, as some grills will cook it faster. You want it to get a little crust formed
  • Flip the dough and immediately add some splashes of olive oil to the top of the dough. This becomes the basis for your ingredients. Add mozzarella, tomatoes and prosciutto. Let the pizza continue to cook for another 5 minutes or so, continually watching that it doesn't burn.
  • Remove the pizza from the grill and immediately cut. Add arugula, truffle oil and balsamic glaze to the top of the hot pizza
  • Garnish with a little hot honey to taste
