Pizza with Green Tomatoes
- 1 recipe Pizza Dough (page 253)
- 2 large or 4 small green tomatoes
- Coarse salt
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped or torn fresh basil
- Olive oil as needed
- For grilled pizza, start a medium-hot charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill to the maximum.
- Roll or lightly press each dough ball into a flat round, lightly flouring the work surface and the dough as necessary (do not use more flour than you need to).
- Let the rounds sit for a few minutes, then roll or pat out the dough, as thinly as you like, turning occasionally and sprinkling the top with flour as necessary.
- For baked pizza, preheat the oven to 500F.
- Oil one or more baking sheets, then press each dough ball into a flat round directly on the oiled sheet(s).
- Then pat out the dough, as thinly as you like, oiling your hands if necessary.
- If your oven is equipped with a baking stone, roll or pat out the dough as for grilled pizza, putting it on a peel to transfer it to the oven.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the tomatoes.
- Salt the slices lightly and let them sit for at least 20 minutes, then drain off any accumulated liquid.
- To grill the pizza, slide it directly onto the grill.
- Cook until brown grill marks appear, 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your grill heat.
- Turn with a spatula or tongs, then top with the tomato, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and basil.
- Cover the grill and cook until the bottom is crisp and brown and the top hot.
- To bake the pizza, top with the tomato and Parmigiano-Reggiano, slide the baking sheet into the oven (or the pizza itself onto the stone), and bake for about 10 minutes, depending on the oven heat, or until nearly done.
- Sprinkle with the basil and cook until the pizza is nicely browned.
