Garlicky Prosciutto & Arugula Grilled Pizza

Prep Time20 minutes mins

Cook Time6 minutes mins

Total Time3 hours hrs 26 minutes mins

Course: Main Dish

Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

For the dough:

• 1 1/2 cups warm water, heated to 100-110 degrees
• 1 1/4 oz packet active dry yeast
• 4 cups flour
• 2 tsp salt
• olive oil

To assemble the pizza:

• 1 Tbsp Garlic olive oil
• 2 tsp garlic minced
• 1 1/2 cups arugula
• 6 oz Prosciutto
• 1 Tbsp Balsamic drizzle*

Instructions

For the dough:

• Place water in a small bowl. Sprinkle in yeast, stirring until dissolved.
• In a large bowl, whisk flour and salt together. Slowly pour in yeast mixture, stirring to roughly combine.
• Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface. Keep extra water and extra flour nearby, in case your dough becomes too sticky or too dry. Knead dough until completely combined, and dough is smooth.
• Place dough in to an oiled bowl, covering it loosely with a damp kitchen towel. Place in a warm, draft free location in your kitchen, until dough has doubled in size (about 2 hours).
• Punch down your dough, placing it on a lightly floured surface. Cut dough in to three equal portions, repeating the above process of placing dough in oiled bowls, loosely covering with damp towels, and placing in a warm, draft free area. Allow dough to rise for a second time, but only for one hour.
• Dough is now either ready to use, or can be wrapped in plastic wrap and reserved for the following day.

To assemble:

• Preheat your grill over medium heat (use a grill pan if indoors).
• Lightly flour work surface, keeping extra on hand for when dough gets sticky.
• Roll dough out to about 9 inches. Misshaped = best. Mix garlic olive oil with fresh garlic. Using a pastry brush, brush garlic oil on dough. Place dough oil side down on prepared grill. Lightly brush other side with garlic oil.
• Grill for about 3 minutes per side, watching closely to ensure crust doesn't overcook. When done, remove from grill. Top pizza crust with prosciutto and arugula, and drizzle with balsamic.

Notes

• Balsamic Drizzle can be found in the vinegar section of your grocery store. Homemade balsamic reduction would work beautifully as well.
