Grilled Pizza With Italian Cheeses and Bitter Greens
- 6 ounces pizza dough (see recipe)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup shredded bel paese or Italian fontina cheese
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 ripe medium-size tomato, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 8 leaves of arugula (see note)
- Prepare a hot charcoal fire with the coals mounded in the center.
- Punch the dough down.
- Oil a baking sheet, and stretch the dough out on it to form a 10- to 12-inch circle 1/8-inch thick.
- Gently lift the dough, using both hands, and drape it onto the grill over the hottest part of the fire.
- Within a minute, the dough will puff slightly, and the bottom will stiffen.
- As soon as grill marks appear on the underside, turn the dough over with tongs, and move it to the edge of the grill, away from the heat.
- Quickly brush the dough with 1 tablespoon oil.
- Scatter the minced garlic over the dough.
- Sprinkle on the cheeses, followed by the chopped tomato.
- Arrange the arugula leaves on top.
- Drizzle with the remaining oil.
- Slide the pizza back over the coals.
- Cook the pizza, rotating frequently, for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the bottom is slightly charred and the cheeses bubble.
- Serve at once.
