Grilled Tomato Prosciutto And Cheese Pizza Using Fresh Dough Recipes

PROSCIUTTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Remove pizza dough from fridge if using fresh pizza and preheat oven or BBQ to 475° F with 2 pizza stones or baking trays upside down on middle rack in oven.
• Prepare fresh pizza dough as per package (or roll out into 2 pizza shapes of your choice on a floured surface).
• Sprinkle semolina flour on preheated pizza stones or baking trays (keep trays upside down) and place pizza dough on top. Bake/grill fresh pizza dough for approximately 3 minutes (skip this step if using pre-made pizza shells).
• Remove stones or baking trays from oven/grill and top pizza dough/shells with pizza sauce, grated mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, fresh mozzarella (tucked in between prosciutto), and sprinkle basil on top. Bake/grill** for 7-12 minutes or until dough is cooked through, cheese is nicely browned on top, and prosciutto looks crispy.
• Let cool for 2-5 minutes and slice into desired sized slices.

PROSCIUTTO AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA

Cut pizza into 6 slices and serve.

TOMATO-PROSCIUTTO GRILLED CHEESE

• Add vinegar and honey; cook until jam thickens, 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper; remove from heat.
• On a cookie sheet, arrange bread in a single layer. Top each slice with 1/4 cup cheese and 1 slice prosciutto; bake until cheese melts, 3 minutes.
• Divide tomato jam among 4 sandwich halves; top with remaining sandwich halves.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook one sandwich, flipping once, 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining oil and sandwiches.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO AND PEACH FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• Combine balsamic vinegar, honey, lemon juice, and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to low. Simmer until mixture has reduced down to 1/3 cup, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill naan until faint char marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread ricotta cheese over the charred side. Top with peaches and prosciutto. Sprinkle with basil. Drizzle with balsamic reduction.
• Return flatbreads to to the grill. Grill with the cover on, until the cheese is melted and the bottom of the flatbread begins to char, about 7 minutes.

GRILLED PIZZA WITH PROSCIUTTO, RICOTTA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Finely grate the zest of the lemon; cut the lemon in half and reserve. Stir together the ricotta, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Set aside.
• Divide the pizza dough into 2 balls. Sprinkle the flour on a clean flat surface and roll each ball into an oval about 14 inches long, 6 or 7 inches across and between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the crusts to the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each crust with olive oil, about 1 tablespoon per side, and lightly sprinkle with salt.
• Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the crusts until they start to puff and distinct grill marks appear, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until just cooked through, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Discard the used parchment paper and put the finished crusts on the baking sheet.
• Immediately top each crust evenly with prosciutto. Place small dollops of the ricotta mixture over the prosciutto. Toss the arugula in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and the juice of one of the lemon halves (reserve the other half for another use). Season with salt and pepper. Divide the arugula between the pizzas and serve.

GRILLED TOMATO, PROSCIUTTO AND CHEESE PIZZA (USING FRESH DOUGH)

Steps:

• Dough: In a food processor, add the flours, sugar, salt and yeast. Blend until mixed. Combine the water and the olive oil and pour the water into the food processor. Blend for 1-1/2 minutes or until the dough comes away from the bowl. If the dough has not come together, add 1 T at a time until it does come away from the bowl.
• Remove the dough to a oiled bowl and cover the dough with the oil and let rest covered for 1 - 1-1/2 hours. The dough is meant to be very sticky. Remove the dough from the bowl and gently press out some of the air bubbles. Shape into a circle, then cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Reshape into smooth circles then place on a cookie sheet and cover again for 1/2 hour.
• Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper the size of the pizza. Sprinkle the paper with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll one disk out onto the parchment paper, using a little bit of flour. Sprinkle the top of the dough with a little bit of flour, so that when stacked, the dough does not stick together. Cover with some plastic wrap and chill until ready to use.
• Garlic Oil: In a cold pot, add the olive oil, minced garlic and chili peppers. Bring the heat up to simmer and remove when you hear the garlic starting to sizzle. Remove from heat and let the olive oil infuse with the garlic and chili peppers.
• Tomatoes: Cut the tomatoes in half and seed the tomatoes. Cut into bite size pieces and place in a colander. Sprinkle 3/4 tsp of salt on the tomatoes and let drain for 1/2 hour. Shake the colindar to release any excess juices.
• Cheese: Grate the 2 cheese and combine well.
• To cook: Preheat the grill to medium high. Have all the other ingredients out near the BBQ, ready to cook. Sprinkle a pizza wheel with some flour and transfer one of the pizza to the wheel. Slide the pizza onto the BBQ and return quickly to get another pizza. Large bubbles will appear on the crust, so just poke them down. Watch carefully that the bottoms don't burn, so turn the pizzas around a bit. When ready, they should just have nice grill marks on the bottom. Remove the pizzas to a large cutting board and continue with the other 2 pizzas. When all four are done, brush the un-cooked side of the pizzas with the garlic oil, adding the prosciutto, chopped tomatoes, and cheese. Do not over load the pizzas or they will be soggy and not cook properly. Return to the BBQ and cook for 3 - 4 minutes with the lid down until the cheese is melted. Repeat with the last 2 pizzas.
• Garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.

PIZZETTE WITH FONTINA, TOMATO, BASIL, AND PROSCIUTTO
