GRILLED PIZZA MARGARITA

Steps:

• Prepare a hot charcoal fire, setting the grill rack 3 to 4 inches above the coals.
• On a large, oiled, inverted baking sheet, spread and flatten the pizza dough with your hands into a 10 to 12-inch free-form circle, 1/8-inch thick. Do not make a lip. You may end up with a rectangle rather than a circle; the shape is unimportant, but do take care to maintain an even thickness.
• When the fire is hot (when you can hold your hand over the coals for 3 to 4 seconds at a distance of 5 inches), use your fingertips to lift the dough gently by the 2 corners closest to you, and drape in onto the grill. Catch the loose edge on the grill first and slide the remaining dough into place over the fire. Within a minute the dough will puff slightly, the underside will stiffen, and grill marks will appear.
• Using tongs, immediately flip the crust over, onto the coolest part of the grill. Quickly brush the grilled surface with olive oil. Scatter the garlic and cheeses over the dough, and spoon dollops of tomato over the cheese. Do not cover the entire surface of the pizza with tomatoes. Finally, drizzle the pizza with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
• Slide the pizza back toward the hot coals, but not directly over them. Using tongs, rotate the pizza frequently so that different sections receive high heat; check the underside often to see that it is not burning. The pizza is done when the top is bubbly and the cheese melted, about 6 to 8 minutes. Serve at once, topped with the basil leaves and additional olive oil, if desired.
• Sprinkle the yeast over 1/2 cup warm (105 to 110 degrees F) water and allow it to dissolve and activate, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the flour and salt and mound it onto a cool work surface creating a high walled well in the center. Combine the yeast mixture with 1 1/2 cups of cool water and pour into the well. Slowly begin to mix the water and flour, a little at a time, moving your fingers in short, counter clockwise circles around the border of the water. When the dough is firm enough to hold it's shape, scrape the remaining flour over it and knead until the mass is smooth and shiny, approximately 7 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to a bowl that has been brushed with olive oil. Brush the top of the dough with olive oil to prevent a skin from forming, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place away from drafts until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours. Punch down the dough and knead once more. Let the dough rise again for about 40 minutes, punch down again and form dough into 4 balls.

STRAWBERRY MARGARITA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Put cookie dough onto a 12-inch pizza pan, rolling to fit to the edges in an even layer.
• Bake cookie dough 'crust' in preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 14 minutes. Cool crust at room temperature until cool enough to handle. Carefully slide spatula under the 'crust' and remove from pan to a large, flat serving platter.
• Whisk 1 cup milk and pudding mix together in a bowl until smooth; put aside until set.
• Beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup milk together in a separate bowl. Add pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir until smooth; spread evenly over the 'crust.'
• Stir margarita mix, sugar, and cornstarch together in a saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens into a syrup. Remove from heat to cool slightly. Stir strawberries into the syrup; pour onto the pizza 'crust' and spread evenly.
• Dot the strawberry layer with whipped topping.

SKILLET MARGARITA PIZZA

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour, 2 teaspoons salt, and yeast. Mix until combined. Add water and olive oil. Dough will be tacky and should stick to the sides of the bowl. Continue mixing until well incorporated and smooth, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if necessary, to make dough cohesive and smooth.
• Scrape dough into a large, oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature for 8 hours and up to 24.
• Grease two 10-inch cast iron skillets and/or round cake pans with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Flour a work surface and scrape dough out of bowl. Divide dough into 2 pieces. Using lightly floured hands, form each into a ball, place into the skillets, and turn to coat in oil. (Alternatively, keep one dough wrapped while the other rises; repeat with remaining dough after first pizza bakes.) Using fingers, press the dough to the edges of the pan. (Don't worry about stretching the dough to fill the entire pan; dough will do so naturally during the next rise.) Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until dough looks puffed and begins to fill the skillet.
• Preheat oven to 550 degrees F with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Remove plastic wrap. Lightly oil the top of dough and use your fingertips to gently press dough to fill the pan evenly. Do not disturb any air pockets that have formed in the dough. Divide pizza sauce, mozzarella, basil, and red pepper flakes between both dough rounds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to oven and bake until pizza crusts are deeply golden and cheese is bubbling about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-reggiano and top with additional basil leaves. Cut into slices and serve.

MARGARITA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the grill on high heat.
• Dust a counter with the 2 tablespoons flour. Stretch the dough by rotating on your knuckles into a 12- to 13-inch diameter round. Sprinkle the semolina on a wooden pizza paddle or on the back of a baking pan large enough to hold the dough round. Set the dough on the semolina. Brush the top of the dough with the olive oil.
• Slide the pizza onto the hot grill and cook until grill marks appear and the dough is set, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip the dough over with a large spatula or tongs or your hands; brush the top with olive oil, and cook until the dough is firm but not completely cooked and grill marks appear, another 3 to 4 minutes. Slip the pizza paddle under the crust and remove from the grill. Set a large cast-iron griddle on the grill to heat or place a pizza pan in the oven and preheat to 500°F.
• To build the pizza, spread the tomato sauce over the partially cooked crust. Distribute the mozzarella over the pizza and sprinkle on the pecorino romano. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slip the pizza off the paddle onto the griddle on the grill or onto the pizza pan in the oven and bake until bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and set the pizza on a cutting board. Scatter on whole or snipped basil leaves and drizzle with the extra-virgin olive oil. Cut into 6 to 8 wedges and serve.
