GRILLED VEGGIE PIZZA
I came up with this recipe one summer as a way to use up vegetables from our garden. Grilling the veggies first brings out their sizzling flavors. Try it with a sprinkling of olives or pine nuts before adding the cheese. -Susan Marshall, Colorado Springs, Colorado

GRILLED VEGETABLE PIZZA
This sauce is about heating and searing the tomato paste and garlic for a minute to bring out their flavors. It's a great tangy (and quick) sauce base to have on pizza as you top it with charred summer vegetables. You can use whatever looks good at the store. I personally love a vegetable version of a sausage and pepper theme that takes me straight to a summery street fair in my own backyard....

Steps:
- The yeast: For the pizza dough, combine the yeast and warm water in a bowl of an electric mixed fitted with the paddle attachment. Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.
- The dough: Using a sieve or strainer, sift about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and blend on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the salt, vinegar, honey and remaining flour and mix to blend. With the mixer on medium low, mix the dough 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes a smooth ball in the bowl.
- Rest: Lightly oil a bowl with the remaining olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until it has doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
- The pizza rounds: Press gently on the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, rolling each into a loose ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for an additional 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Flatten each ball, then roll and gently stretch into an 8-inch round. Place each round on a pizza peel or the bottom side of a floured baking sheet.
- Prebake: Place the pizza rounds on the center racks of the oven and bake until they become firm and rigid, about 5 minutes.
- The tomato sauce: In a medium skillet, warm the olive oil, garlic and tomato paste over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, almost frying the paste. Add 1/2 cup water and let the tomato paste get hot and the garlic soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream, season with salt, stir and shut off the heat.
- Get ready: Preheat the grill on high.
- The vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, red and yellow peppers, onions and red pepper flakes with a generous pinch salt.
- Grill: Lightly oil a kitchen towel with canola oil and oil the grill. Arrange the vegetables on the grill and char on all sides until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill.
- The pizzas: Arrange each prebaked pizza round on the bottom of a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper or on a floured pizza peel. Arrange a quarter of the mozzarella and spoon a quarter of the sauce in a single layer on each of the pizza rounds. Leave a 1-inch edge (the crust) all around without sauce. Top with the vegetables.
- Grill: Lightly oil a kitchen towel with canola oil and oil the grill so the pizza won't stick. Slide the pizzas off the baking sheets right on to a hot (but not the hottest) part of the grill. Close the lid and cook 2 to 3 minutes to allow the dough to finish cooking and the cheese to melt. Move the pizzas gently to a less hot area and cook until browned, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Finish: Transfer the pizza rounds to a serving platter. Top with the arugula leaves, lemon zest and Parmesan.
GRILLED VEGETABLE PIZZA
Steps:
- Dough: Place flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. While mixer is running, gradually add water, knead on low speed until dough is firm and smooth, about 10 minutes. Turn machine off. Pour oil down inside of bowl. Turn on low once more for 15 seconds to coat inside of bowl and all surfaces of dough with the oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
- Sauce: Pour tomatoes into a strainer that has been fitted over a microwave proof bowl. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes. Press all juices into bowl. Set crushed tomatoes aside. Place bowl with tomato juices in microwave and cook on high until thickened to consistency of ketchup, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes to sauce. Cool to room temperature. Toppings: Slice some vegetables. Skewer onion slices to keep them together. Brush vegetable slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place vegetables on hot grill pan. When done, set aside. Assembly: Preheat your oven to highest setting, 500 or 550 degrees. If using a pizza stone, preheat oven 1 hour ahead. Punch dough down, cut in half. On generously floured work surface, place one half of dough. By hand, form dough loosely into a ball, stretch into a circle. Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into large circle until very thin. Don't worry if your circle isn't perfect. If you get a hole, pinch edges back together. To prevent dough from sticking to counter, turn it over and add flour as needed. Transfer dough to pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal. Ladle tomato sauce on pizza dough. Add assorted vegetables. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
- Store-bought Pizza dough can be used instead .
GRILLED VEGETABLE PIZZAS
These easy weeknight pies are full of surprises. Grill a bushel of produce-mushrooms, zucchini, red onion, and kale-and pile them onto rounds of store-bought flatbread. Sprinkle on blue cheese and mozzarella to bring a mix of funk and gooeyness. Then, since we've already bucked tradition, skip the marinara and drizzle your pizzas with a simple mustard vinaigrette instead. It offsets the rich cheeses and unites the vegetables into bites so satisfying, no one will notice you're having salad for dinner.

Steps:
- Prepare grill for direct- and indirect-heat cooking. In a bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil; set aside.
- Brush mushrooms, zucchini, kale, and onion with more oil; season with salt. Grill mushrooms over direct heat 6 to 10 minutes, depending on size. Flip mushrooms; add zucchini and onion to grill and cook 5 minutes more. Flip zucchini and onion; add kale to grill.
- Continue cooking, flipping kale once, until everything is charred in places and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a platter or board. Top flatbreads evenly with about two-thirds of mozzarella. Divide mushrooms and vegetables evenly among flatbreads. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and blue cheese.
- Place pizzas over indirect heat and grill, covered, maintaining a temperature of about 400°F, just until bread is charred in places and mozzarella melts, 7 to 9 minutes (if bread isn't crisping along bottom and edges, transfer pizzas to direct heat in last minute of cooking). Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve warm.

Steps:
- Heat grill to medium. Brush a large rimless baking sheet (or an inverted rimmed sheet) with 1 tablespoon oil. On a lightly floured work surface, roll and stretch dough to two 8-inch ovals or rounds. Transfer to prepared sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon oil.
- Transfer dough to grill. Cook, without turning over, until undersides are firm and begin to char, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs and a large spatula, place crusts on baking sheet, grilled side up.
- Scatter crusts with tomatoes, scallion whites, and cheese; season with salt and pepper, and slide back onto grill. Cook, rotating occasionally, until cooked through and cheese begins to melt, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.
- In a medium bowl, combine spinach, avocado, scallion greens, vinegar, and remaining tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Pile mixture onto pizzas; halve, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose vegetables that are in season and at their peak of flavor. This will ensure that your pizzas are as delicious as possible.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of vegetables. There are endless possibilities, so have fun and create pizzas that you and your family will love.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-made pizza dough. Just be sure to roll it out thinly so that it cooks evenly.
- To prevent the vegetables from drying out, brush them with olive oil or melted butter before grilling.
- Cook the pizzas over medium heat so that the vegetables have time to caramelize and the cheese has time to melt and bubble.
- Once the pizzas are cooked, let them cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from sliding off.
Conclusion:
Individual Grilled Veggie Pizzas are a delicious and easy way to enjoy your favorite vegetables. They're perfect for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner, and they're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give these pizzas a try.
