Grilled Pizza With Prosciutto Ricotta And Arugula Recipes

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO AND GARLIC RICOTTA PIZZA WITH ARUGULA

Steps:

• Roll out 1/2 your dough to 1/4-inch thick on a well-floured surface. Repeat with the other half of dough and set aside.
• Heat grill to medium-high (450ºF-500ºF).
• Prep your toppings: Toss 2 cups arugula in 1 tbsp olive oil. Stir garlic powder into 3 tbsp olive oil . Stir the minced garlic clove into the ricotta with 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/4 tsp salt.
• Pour the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering. Stir well, let cook 3 minutes, then turn off the heat. This will thicken into a glaze.
• Brush one side with olive oil and place that side down on the flame-side of hot grill grates. Grill for about 5 minutes (the bottom will be crisped and fully cooked). Brush the top with oil and carefully flip!
• Once flipped, quickly build the toppings on your pizza. Spread the 1/2 the garlic oil on the bottom, then dollop 1/2 the ricotta around the dough. Add 1/2 the prosciutto and shredded mozzarella and close the grill lid.
• Let the bottom cook for 4 minutes while the cheese melts on top. Add the tossed arugula. Shut grill lid for 1 more minute until the bottom is cooked through, then remove from the grill.
• Repeat with the other half of dough. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, slice and serve!

ARUGULA-PROSCIUTTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel or another upside-down baking sheet; slide the dough onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake 8 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil in a bowl with the garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove the pizza from the oven, brush with the olive oil mixture and top with the ricotta and mozzarella. Return the pizza to the oven; bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, about 6 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the arugula and shallot in a large bowl with the lemon juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Top the pizza with the arugula salad, prosciutto and shaved parmesan. Cut into slices.

PROSCIUTTO AND ARUGULA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Place the pizza dough on the grill. Let cook for 1 minute, and then flip with tongs. Move to a cooler spot on the grill (about medium heat) until the dough begins to pull away from the grill, about 1 minute. Remove the dough from the grill.
• Spread the dough with the ricotta and scatter with mozzarella. Return to the grill, cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Top with the prosciutto and arugula and drizzle with olive oil.

GRILLED PIZZA

Steps:

• For the pizza dough: Place the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar and yeast in the bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and water; once added, continue mixing for 1 minute.
• Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead until smooth.
• Divide the dough into 3 even pieces and form into balls. Spray with cooking oil and then place in a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate overnight or up to 4 days for best flavor. (See Cook's Note.)
• When ready to bake, transfer each dough ball to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and set aside until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Make the pizza pies: Preheat a gas grill to 500 degrees F or get a charcoal grill as hot as you can. Lightly dust a work surface with all-purpose flour.
• For each pizza: Gently flatten a piece of dough with the palm of your hand and then roll it into a 10- to 11-inch round, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Don't worry if it's not perfectly or even barely round; just make sure it's of uniform thickness (even if it's the shape of a beaver tail!).
• Sprinkle a pizza peel with semolina flour and transfer the stretched dough to the peel. (If you don't have a peel, use the back of an upturned sheet pan instead.) Slide the dough directly onto the grill. Cook until golden grill marks appear, about 1 minute per side; use tongs to flip.
• For the white pizza: In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta and fontina cheeses along with the thyme, rosemary, honey and some salt and pepper. Brush a grilled crust with olive oil. Spread with the cheese mixture in an even layer. Use the peel to return the pizza to the grill. Cover and cook for about 3 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted and the crust is fully browned. Remove from the grill and top with the prosciutto and arugula.
• For the margherita pizza: Brush a grilled crust with olive oil and spread evenly with the marinara sauce. Top with the torn mozzarella and sprinkle with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Use the peel to transfer the pizza to the grill. Cover and cook until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Remove from grill and top with torn basil.

ARUGULA AND PROSCIUTTO PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS, RICOTTA, AND BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500°F. Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in another large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat until it bubbles. Add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Stretch the pizza dough out into a 12-inch round. In the preheated cast-iron skillet, drizzle some oil, then add the dough round.
• Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil. Spread the ricotta on top and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, 10 to 15 minutes.
• When the pizza comes out, mix the melted butter, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Brush it along the crust of the pizza. Tear the prosciutto into small pieces or strips and place on top. Top with the arugula and caramelized onions. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze, then top with shaved Parmesan cheese.
• Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 8 slices to serve.
• In a small bowl, stir together the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add the flour to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Sprinkle the salt over the flour and mix on low speed for 15 seconds to distribute the salt.
• Add the olive oil, room-temperature water, and yeast mixture and mix on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes, then increase the speed to medium and mix until a ball of dough forms, about 5 minutes.
• Spray a medium bowl lightly with cooking spray. Shape the dough into a ball and set it in the bowl seam side down. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• When the dough is almost risen, place a cast-iron pizza stone on the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500°F.
• When the dough has risen, remove the plastic wrap and push down on the dough to release the gases and bubbles. Shape it into a ball. (If using the dough later, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. The dough will slowly proof during that time. Once you're ready to use it, set it out for 30 minutes to come to room temperature.)
• Spread a piece of parchment paper about 1 1/2-feet long on a work surface. Stretch the dough into a 14-inch round on the parchment.
• Top with your favorite toppings. Carefully pull the oven rack with the pizza stone halfway out of the oven and transfer the parchment and pizza dough to the stone.
• Bake until the crust is golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and cut into 8 slices to serve.

BRUSCHETTA WITH PROSCIUTTO, RICOTTA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the bread on a baking sheet and brush both sides with olive oil. Grill the bread until golden all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Rub one side of each with the garlic clove.
• Spread a tablespoon or two of the ricotta on each bread slice, then press an arugula leaf into the cheese. Place a slice of the prosciutto on top, drizzle with the best quality olive oil, and serve.

FIG-PROSCIUTTO PIZZA WITH ARUGULA

Steps:

• For the crust: Sprinkle the yeast over 3/4 cup warm (not lukewarm) water in a bowl.
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the flour and salt and, with the mixer running on low speed, drizzle in the olive oil. Keep going until it's mixed through. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined.
• Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil, tip the dough in and form it into a ball. Toss to coat the dough ball in the olive oil, then cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for at least an hour, or up to 3 or 4 days.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Arrange the oven rack in the lowest position.
• For the topping: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface as thinly as possible Dough should be roughly 17 by 10 inches. Place on a large baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with the olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Spread the fig spread all over the surface of the dough. Lay the slices of mozzarella all over the surface of the pizza crust. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Bake the pizza until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and immediately drape the prosciutto slices over the hot pizza. Sprinkle generously with the arugula and Parmesan shavings. Cut into wedges or squares and serve immediately!

GRILLED PIZZA

Steps:

• Start charcoal fire or preheat gas grill to medium-high heat.
• Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic but not sticky, about 5 minutes.
• Divide dough into 8 portions. Pat or roll dough on a well-floured counter to about 8-inch circles; they do not need to be perfect.
• Brush both sides of crust with additional oil. Using hands, lift each crust carefully and place on grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bottom is lightly browned and top looks set. Using long handled tongs, remove crust from grill, grilled side up, to a platter or baking sheet.
• Lightly add sauce and top the grilled side of each pizza crust. Excess sauce or toppings makes the pizza hard to handle. Repeat with remaining pizzas.
• Carefully slide each pizza onto the grill. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes until bottom of crust is browned and cheese is melted. Remove from grill and serve immediately.

GRILLED PIZZA WITH PROSCIUTTO, ARUGULA AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Pizza Dough:.
• Pour warm water into a small bowl and stir in the yeast and sugar until dissolved. Let it stand for about 5 minutes to make sure that the yeast is activated. A thin layer of foam should appear on the top, indicating good active yeast.
• Mix the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast water and 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Mix well with your hands or a mixing spoon. Lightly flour a clean working surface. Form the dough into a ball; turn it out onto the working surface. Flour lightly the top of the dough and press down with the palm of your hand. Fold the dough over itself and press again. Continue to roll and press the dough for about 12 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic, adding flour only when necessary to keep from sticking.
• Place the dough back into the mixing bowl. Rub the remaining olive oil all over the dough to keep moist while it is rising. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place (about 75 degrees) for 2 hours or until it rises double in size.
• Once risen, you can use the dough to make pizzas, and or the remaining dough can be refrigerated for up 2 days. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface working it into a circular crust about 10 inches in diameter.
• Assembly:.
• INDOOR: Wipe the bottom of a grilling pan or heavy bottom skillet with a paper towel moistened with olive oil. Preheat the pan over high heat for 5 minutes. Place the dough in the skillet. The crust should bubble on top within 1 minute; if not, turn the heat up.
• OUTDOOR: If your using an outdoor grill, simply heat the grill to medium heat and place the dough on the grill, it should bubble and the crust should form.
• Place the grilled pizza a working surface, grilled side up. Brush the grilled side of the pizza with olive oil. Top the pizza with the fresh mozzarella, then the arugula. Place the slice of prosciutto on the pizza in loose bunches, creating an alternating pattern. Finally top with the crumbled Gorgonzola, and return to the grill to grill the bottom of the pizza and until cheese is bubbling and the edges are golden brown. Serve hot.
