GRILLED PIZZA QUATTRO STAGIONI

Steps:

• Prepare a gas grill for medium heat or prepare a charcoal grill for medium indirect heat.
• Rub the dough with the oil. On a clean work surface, pat and stretch the dough into a rustic 12-inch circle (no need for perfect shaping). Carefully transfer the dough to the grill grates; cook until grill marks appear and the crust is golden, about 6 minutes. Flip, spread the sauce on the crust in an even layer and scatter with the mozzarella. Top a quarter of the pizza with the prosciutto, a quarter with the artichokes, a quarter with the mushrooms and a quarter with the olives. Cover and grill until the cheese is melted, the crust is cooked through and the underside is charred in spots, about 6 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board; let stand about 5 minutes. Top with the basil, if using, and cut into slices.

QUATTRO FORMAGGI PIZZA

Steps:

• Prepare the dough: Whisk 1 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F) and the sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast over top. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in olive oil. Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and stir to make a shaggy dough. Place dough on a floured surface and knead about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic, adding just enough flour to prevent it from sticking. Form into a ball, place in a large oiled bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Turn seam-side down and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature about 1 hour, 30 minutes, until doubled in size. Position oven rack to top shelf, along with a pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat to 450 degrees F. Prepare sausage in a large skillet. Remove and drain the fat. Sprinkle working surface and rolling pin with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Knead dough for a few seconds to begin shaping it into a ball. Using rolling pin, roll the dough out to a circle that is approximately 10" in diameter. Finish stretching using your hands. The dough should be thin. Remove baking sheet or pizza stone from the oven and sprinkle it with cornmeal. Carefully place the pizza dough on the stone or baking sheet and quickly sprinkle with Ricotta Cheese. Scatter the Mozzarella and Gorgonzola pieces, along with the sausage, and finally, top with Parmesan Cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herb, cut and enjoy! *Always cook sausage to internal temperature of 160 degrees F

GRILLED QUATTRO FORMAGGI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Heat a grill until medium-hot. Generously brush one side of the pizza dough with oil; grill, oiled side down, until the underside is golden brown and the top begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Quickly brush the top with oil; flip the crust. Top with a thin layer of all four cheeses. Grill until just melted and the crust is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Slide the pizza with a large spatula onto a cutting board. Season with salt and pepper. Repeat to make more pizzas.
