Grilled Tomato And Cheese Pizzas For Gas Grill Recipes

GRILLED VEGETABLE PIZZA

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.

PIZZA ON THE GRILL WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, MOZZARELLA AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Prepare a hot grill. Meanwhile, cut the cherry tomatoes in half along the equator and place near the grill, along with the olive oil, salt and pepper, mozzarella and arugula.
• Oil the hot grill rack with olive oil, either by brushing with a grill brush or by dipping a folded wad of paper towels in olive oil and using tongs to rub the rack with it. Place a round of dough on a lightly dusted baker's peel or rimless baking sheet. Slide the pizza dough from the peel or baking sheet onto the grill rack. If the dough has just come from the freezer and is easy to handle, you can just place it on the rack without bothering with the peel. Close the lid of the grill - the vents should be closed --- and set the timer for 2 minutes.
• Lift up the grill lid. The surface of the dough should display some big air bubbles. Using tongs, lift the dough to see if it is evenly browning on the bottom. Rotate the dough to assure even browning. Keep it on the grill, moving it around as necessary, until it is nicely browned, with grill marks. Watch closely so that it doesn't burn. When it is nicely browned on the bottom (it may be blackened in spots), use tongs or a spatula to slide the dough onto the baking sheet or peel, and remove from the grill. Cover the grill again.
• Make sure that there is still some flour on the peel or baking sheet and flip the dough over so that the uncooked side is now on the bottom. Brush the surface lightly with oil, then top with cherry tomatoes and shreds or slices of mozzarella. You can place the cherry tomatoes cut side up or cut side down, or alternate them cut side up, cut side down. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Slide the pizza back onto the grill. If using a gas grill, reduce the heat to medium-high. Close the lid and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the bottom begins to brown. Open the grill and check the pizza; if the cheese hasn't melted, leave for a few more minutes. If the bottom is getting too dark, move the pizza to a cooler part of the grill and close the top. Use a spatula or tongs to remove the pizza to a cutting board. Scatter the arugula on top, cut into wedges and serve. Repeat with the other two pizza crusts.

GRILLED TOMATO AND CHEESE PIZZAS FOR GAS GRILL

Steps:

• FOR THE CRUST:.
• Combine oil and water in liquid measuring cup. I food processor fitted with plastic dough blade or metal blade, process bread flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt and yeast until combined, about 5 seconds. With machine running, slowly add liquid through feeding tube; continue to process until dough forms tacky, elastic ball that clears sides of work bowl, about 1 1/2 minutes. If dough ball does not form, add more flour 1 tablespoons at a time and process until dough ball forms. Spray medium bowl lightly with nonstick cooking spray or rub lightly with oil. Transfer dough to bowl and press down to flatten surface; cover tightly with plastic wrap and set in draft-free spot until doubled in volume, 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
• When dough has doubled, press down gently to deflate; turn dough out onto work surface and divide into 4 equal-sized pieces. With cupped palm, form each piece into a smooth, tight ball. Set dough balls on well-floured work surface. Press dough rounds with hand to flatten; cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
• FOR THE TOPPING:.
• Meanwhile, toss tomatoes and table salt in medium bowl; transfer to colander and drain 30 minutes (wipe out and reserve bowl). Shake colander to drain off excess liquid; transfer tomatoes to now-empty bowl and set aside. Combine cheese in second medium bowl and set aside.
• Gently stretch dough rounds into disks about 1/2 inch thick and 5-6 inches in diameter. Working one piece at a time and keeping the rest covered, roll out each disk to 1/8 inch thickness, 9-10 inches in diameter, on well-floured sheet of parchment paper, dusting with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking, (If dough shrinks when rolled out, cover with plastic wrap and let rest until relaxed, 10-15 minutes). Dust surface of rolled dough with flour and set aside. Repeat with remaining dough, stacking sheets of rolled dough on top of each other (with parchment in between) and covering stack with plastic wrap; set aside until grill is ready.
