Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

All-purpose flour, for dusting
One 1-pound ball pizza dough, at room temperature
1/2 pound heirloom tomatoes
Arbequina olive oil, for drizzling
Sea salt, for sprinkling
6 ounces shaved Serrano ham
4 ounces manchego cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
Lightly flour a work surface and place the dough on top. Dust your hands as well and begin to stretch your dough, working in a circle. Stretch the dough until it is 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place the dough on the grill and cook until charred on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
Clean and remove the stem ends of the tomatoes. Place them in a food processor and pulse to break them up. Strain the tomato pulp through a large fine-mesh strainer to remove some of the liquid.
Spread the tomato pulp over the top of the cooked pizza dough. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with sea salt. Top with the Serrano ham and manchego cheese. Drizzle more olive oil over the top.
