Ingredients

½ quantity pizza dough
1 shallot , cut into half moons
2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves , very finely sliced
handful vine-ripened or cherry tomatoes (a mixture of red and yellow is nice), halved or quartered
1 ball buffalo mozzarella , drained
10 basil leaves
10 mild black olives (small ones like Couchillo)

Steps:

Prepare the dough following the instructions in our basic pizza dough recipe.
Place the shallots in 1 tbsp of the vinegar, along with some salt to slightly pickle, and let sit while you cook one side of the pizzas.
Drizzle the cooked side of the pizzas with 1 tbsp olive oil each, then divide the garlic between them. Season and grill, uncooked-side down, until crisp. 4 Remove the pizzas and top with the tomatoes, cheese, basil, olives and the remaining olive oil and vinegar. Drain the shallots and sprinkle over. Season everything and serve.
