GRILLED VEGETABLE PIZZA



Grilled Vegetable Pizza image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 1/2 cups unbleached, all purpose flour
2 packages dry active yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups lukewarm water from the tap
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
Flour for the work surface
A sprinkling of cornmeal
2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes
Red peppers
Zucchini
Eggplant
Asparagus
Portobello mushrooms
Onions
Scallions
Olive oil
Salt, pepper

Steps:

  • Dough: Place flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a mixer fitted with a dough hook. While mixer is running, gradually add water, knead on low speed until dough is firm and smooth, about 10 minutes. Turn machine off. Pour oil down inside of bowl. Turn on low once more for 15 seconds to coat inside of bowl and all surfaces of dough with the oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 2 hours.
  • Sauce: Pour tomatoes into a strainer that has been fitted over a microwave proof bowl. Using your hands, crush the tomatoes. Press all juices into bowl. Set crushed tomatoes aside. Place bowl with tomato juices in microwave and cook on high until thickened to consistency of ketchup, about 20 to 25 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes to sauce. Cool to room temperature. Toppings: Slice some vegetables. Skewer onion slices to keep them together. Brush vegetable slices with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place vegetables on hot grill pan. When done, set aside. Assembly: Preheat your oven to highest setting, 500 or 550 degrees. If using a pizza stone, preheat oven 1 hour ahead. Punch dough down, cut in half. On generously floured work surface, place one half of dough. By hand, form dough loosely into a ball, stretch into a circle. Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into large circle until very thin. Don't worry if your circle isn't perfect. If you get a hole, pinch edges back together. To prevent dough from sticking to counter, turn it over and add flour as needed. Transfer dough to pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal. Ladle tomato sauce on pizza dough. Add assorted vegetables. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
  • Store-bought Pizza dough can be used instead .

GRILLED VEGETABLE PIZZA



Grilled Vegetable Pizza image

This sauce is about heating and searing the tomato paste and garlic for a minute to bring out their flavors. It's a great tangy (and quick) sauce base to have on pizza as you top it with charred summer vegetables. You can use whatever looks good at the store. I personally love a vegetable version of a sausage and pepper theme that takes me straight to a summery street fair in my own backyard....

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield four 8- to 10-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 large cloves garlic, grated
3/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 red bell peppers, cored and cut into 1/2-inch strips
2 yellow bell peppers, cored and cut into 1/2-inch strips
3 medium red onions, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil, for oiling the grill
2 pounds pre-sliced mozzarella cheese
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil, for oiling the grill
2 cups arugula leaves, lightly chopped
Zest from 1 large lemon
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • The yeast: For the pizza dough, combine the yeast and warm water in a bowl of an electric mixed fitted with the paddle attachment. Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes.
  • The dough: Using a sieve or strainer, sift about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and blend on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the salt, vinegar, honey and remaining flour and mix to blend. With the mixer on medium low, mix the dough 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes a smooth ball in the bowl.
  • Rest: Lightly oil a bowl with the remaining olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until it has doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • The pizza rounds: Press gently on the dough and turn it onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, rolling each into a loose ball. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Flatten each ball, then roll and gently stretch into an 8-inch round. Place each round on a pizza peel or the bottom side of a floured baking sheet.
  • Prebake: Place the pizza rounds on the center racks of the oven and bake until they become firm and rigid, about 5 minutes.
  • The tomato sauce: In a medium skillet, warm the olive oil, garlic and tomato paste over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, almost frying the paste. Add 1/2 cup water and let the tomato paste get hot and the garlic soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cream, season with salt, stir and shut off the heat.
  • Get ready: Preheat the grill on high.
  • The vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, red and yellow peppers, onions and red pepper flakes with a generous pinch salt.
  • Grill: Lightly oil a kitchen towel with canola oil and oil the grill. Arrange the vegetables on the grill and char on all sides until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill.
  • The pizzas: Arrange each prebaked pizza round on the bottom of a baking sheet fitted with parchment paper or on a floured pizza peel. Arrange a quarter of the mozzarella and spoon a quarter of the sauce in a single layer on each of the pizza rounds. Leave a 1-inch edge (the crust) all around without sauce. Top with the vegetables.
  • Grill: Lightly oil a kitchen towel with canola oil and oil the grill so the pizza won't stick. Slide the pizzas off the baking sheets right on to a hot (but not the hottest) part of the grill. Close the lid and cook 2 to 3 minutes to allow the dough to finish cooking and the cheese to melt. Move the pizzas gently to a less hot area and cook until browned, an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Finish: Transfer the pizza rounds to a serving platter. Top with the arugula leaves, lemon zest and Parmesan.

GRILLED VEGETABLE PIZZA



Grilled Vegetable Pizza image

This recipe is adapted from one posted by Crisco Olive Oil. I changed it to make it more like one I get from a local pizza place....my guilty pleasure! I'm not good with making anything with "dough", so I use a pre-made pizza crust, but feel free to make your own!

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons olive oil
11 inches pizza crusts (I like Boboli)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
8 garlic cloves, roasted
1 (6 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and halved
3 baby portabello mushrooms, sliced
1 small red onion, sliced (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on how much you like red onions!)
2/3 cup red bell pepper, cut into 1/4 inch strips, then cut into 1 inch pieces
12 black olives, pitted and halved, preferably kalamati olives
1 teaspoon fresh herb, chopped (I like basil, but you can use a mix)
2/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 ounces italian cheese blend cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Spray your cookie sheet lightly with no stick cooking spray.
  • Combine the olive oil and minced garlic and brush onto both sides of the pizza crust.
  • Place the pizza crust (not on the pan) on a medium hot grill for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn it over and cook another minute. Remove it to the cookie sheet.
  • Sprinkle italian cheese blend over the crust, then top with the roasted garlic cloves, vegetables and olives. Top with the feta cheese. (you can reduce the amount of feta if you are not a huge feta fan).
  • Place the crust back on the grill and close the cover and cook 4 to 6 minutes, or until the crust is browned and the cheeses are melted.
  • Remove and sprinkle with your choice of chopped herbs.
