Grilled Pizzas with Potatoes and Rosemary
- 2/3 cup lukewarm water (105115F)
- 1 (1/4-oz) package active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil plus additional for brushing
- 1 2/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
- 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt
- 2 lb red boiling potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, grated (2 cups)
- Garnish: fresh rosemary leaves and coarse sea salt (preferably Maldon)
- Stir together water, yeast, and sugar in a large bowl and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- (If mixture doesnt foam, discard and start over.)
- Stir in oil, flour, cornmeal, and table salt, then stir until a dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface, dusting with more flour as needed to prevent dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes (dough will be moist).
- Put dough in an oiled deep bowl and turn to coat with oil.
- Let dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and divide into 6 balls.
- Roll out 1 ball of dough 1/8 inch thick (about 7 inches in diameter) on a lightly floured surface.
- Brush off excess flour, then transfer dough to a lightly oiled baking sheet and cover surface of dough completely with plastic wrap.
- Roll out remaining balls of dough in same manner, covering with plastic wrap and stacking rounds.
- Wrap baking sheet with more plastic wrap.
- Chill dough until firm, about 2 to 4 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Thinly slice potatoes (1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or other manual slicer, then toss with oil, garlic, salt, rosemary, and pepper in a large bowl until lightly coated.
- Spread potatoes in 1 layer on 2 lightly oiled baking sheets.
- Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tender, about 15 minutes total.
- Cool potatoes on sheets on racks.
- Prepare grill for cooking.
- Remove plastic from 3 dough rounds (if grill is not large, work with 1 piece at a time) and lightly brush dough with some oil.
- When the fire is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack 3 to 4 seconds), carefully transfer dough, trying not to stretch it, oiled side down, with your hands to grill rack.
- Grill oiled rounds until undersides are browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip over with tongs, then, working quickly, sprinkle each crust with 1/3 cup mozzarella and cover with potato slices, overlapping them and leaving a 1/4-inch border around edge.
- Grill, covered, until undersides are golden and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.
