Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 5 cups (22½ oz) Colavita gine Italian "00" flour
  • teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
  • plus 2 tablespoons cool water (65F)
  • 2 tsp Colavita organic extra virgin olive oil for brushing the walls of the bowl and dough

For the Pizza:

  • 1 carton Cirio crushed tomatoes with basil (3 tbsp per pizza)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (1/4 cup per pizza)
  • 4 oz shaved Parmesan
  • 18 thin sliced prosciutto of your choice
  • 3 cups arugula , washed and dried
  • 2-3 tbsp Colavita Roasted Garlic Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Colavita White Balsamic Vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

For the pizza dough:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large metal bowl) stir all ingredients together until well combined. If using a stand mixer fit it with the hook attachment and mix on low for 4 minutes. The flour should form a coarse ball. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes , then mix on medium for 2 more minutes, or until the dough clears the sides of the bowl and sticks just a little to the bottom. If the dough is too soft and sticky mix in some flour, if it is too stiff add some more water.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface, dust the top with flour and working from four corners fold the dough into a ball. Place in a bowl, that has been brushed with olive oil and cover with plastic wrap. Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour, to double its size. Then punch a hole in the dough, reshape, place in a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Remove dough from the fridge 2 hours before using. Divide dough into 6 parts. Form 6 balls and brush them with olive oil.

To cook pizza on a gas grill, using an pizza stone:

  • Place a pizza stone on your grill. Close the cover. Preheat a gas grill to 425-450 F.
  • Once the grill has heated, assemble the pizzas. Depending on the size of your pizzas and stone, you may need to grill them one by one or two at a time.
  • Generously sprinkle a pizza peel with Colavita polenta.
  • Spread pizza dough over pizza peel. Add crushed tomatoes, leaving at least 1/2 inch around the edges. Top with mozzarella cheese.
  • Carefully transfer pizza to heated pizza stone. (You may need to use a spatula to help yourself.)
  • Grill pizza for 10-12 minutes, to the desired doneness. Outer edges should be brown, all around the crust.
  • Using a metal spatula, carefully loosen pizza, if it is stuck to the stone. With a pizza peel remove pizza and transfer to a cutting board.
  • Season arugula with roasted garlic olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Top pizza with prosciutto, Parmesan and seasoned arugula. Cut and serve.
