Pizza assembly Heirloom Tomato Sauce One batch pizza dough 1 12 ounce package bacon, cooked and chopped 1 shallot, chopped 8 ounces shredded fontina cheese Fresh rosemary for garnish 1. Divide dough into 4 sections. Roll into balls, dust with flour, and roll each one out to about a 6-8 inch size crust. Don't worry if the shape isn't perfect, grilled pizza is supposed to look rustic! Layer crusts in between wax paper. 2. Heat grill to medium high and lay crusts on grill. Grill for about 5 minutes, lifting up to check every minute to make sure the crusts aren't cooking too fast. Pop any big dough bubbles with a knife. 3. Remove crusts and turn over so grilled side is UP. Spread about 1/4 to 1/3 cup sauce on each crust, sprinkle with fontina cheese, and then shallots, and then bacon. Return to grill, put cover down, and grill until cheese is melted and bottom of crust is browned. 4. Remove from grill, sprinkle with rosemary and cut into sections. Makes 4 personal sized pizzas.
