2 1/4 cups grated fontina cheese
3 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
Mashed potatoes, if desired (see recipes below)
1 recipe pizza dough divided into 6 pieces (recipe below)
3 cups canned plum tomatoes in thick puree, crushed up
3/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
2 1/4 cups grated Romano cheese
2 1/4 cups grated fontina cheese
3 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
Mashed potatoes, if desired (see recipes below)
1 recipe pizza dough divided into 6 pieces (recipe below)
11 ounces lukewarm water
1 teaspoon fresh yeast
1 tablespoon molasses
2 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
11 ounces lukewarm water
1 teaspoon fresh yeast
1 tablespoon molasses
2 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the tomatoes in puree, basil, 1/4 cup of the olive oil and the garlic. Stir well and set aside at room temperature for up to 1 hour. In a bowl, mix together the Romano and fontina cheeses. Spread about 3/4 cup of the romano-fontina mixture over each pizza crust and then dollop each with 8 to 10 tablespoons of the tomato sauce. Do not spread the sauce over the crust. Drizzle each pizza with about a tablespoon of the remaining olive oil and sprinkle each with parsley. At this point if you desire, spread the mashed potatoes thinly over the dough. Slide the crust back to the edge of the hot section of the grill. Rotate them 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottoms are evenly golden brown. Cut pizzas and serve.

  • Mix the water, yeast, and molasses in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let this stand for 12 minutes to activate the yeast (the water will foam slightly.) Add the salt and oil to the bowl and mix well. With mixer on low speed add the all purpose flour and the whole wheat flour to the bowl and mix until all the flour is absorbed and the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Remove the dough from the bowl and cut the dough into 6 (5 1/2 ounce) portions. Roll the portioned dough into balls and place on an oiled baking pan. Brush the ball lightly with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap. If you are going to use the dough right away let the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before using. You can store the dough after portioning for 1 day in the refrigerator, but you must let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before using.

Time 1h

Yield 5 to 6 portions

Number Of Ingredients 18

11 ounces lukewarm water
1 teaspoons fresh yeast
1 tablespoon molasses
2 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
Pizza Sauce:
2 cups plum tomatoes in heavy puree, drained, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup basil, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, finely minced
Grilled Pizza Margherita:
Pizza Dough Recipe, above recipe
4 1/2 cups cheese
1 batch pizza sauce, above recipe
3 tablespoons parsley
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix the water, yeast and molasses in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let this stand for 12 minutes to activate the yeast (the water will foam slightly).
  • Add the salt and oil to the bowl and mix well.
  • With the mixer on low speed add the all-purpose flour and the whole wheat flour to the bowl and mix until all the flour is absorbed and the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and cut the dough into 6 (5 1/2-ounce) portions. Roll the portioned dough into balls and place on an oiled baking pan. Brush the ball lightly with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap.
  • If you are going to use the dough right away let the dough sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before using. You can store the dough after portioning for 1 day in the refrigerator, but you must let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before using.
  • Mix the tomatoes, basil, garlic and olive oil and set aside.;
  • Prepare your fire - preferably a charcoal fire but a gas grill does very nicely also. Make sure the grill is set at least four inches from the fire.
  • On an oiled surface, roll the dough out, using the palms of your hands. If the dough is sticking to the surface, lift the dough and drizzle a little more oil on. Make about a 12-inch circle with an even thickness.
  • Carefully lift the dough being careful not to tear it. Drape the dough onto the hot spot of the grill. The dough will start to rise immediately. Carefully lift the edge of the dough and see the color of the bottom - it should be evenly golden brown - this should take about 2 minutes.
  • Flip the dough over and place it on the side of the grill. Brush the cooked side of the dough with olive oil, spread some cheese and a tablespoon dollop of pizza sauce on the pizza, then drizzle the pizza with some extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with parsley.
  • Continue to cook, until the bottom of the pizza is evenly golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
