Grilled Smoked-Mozzarella and Yellow Squash Pizzettes
- 1 yellow squash (1/2 pound)
- 1 plum tomato
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed
- cornmeal for dusting baking sheet
- 2 tablespoons coarsely grated smoked mozzarella
- Prepare grill.
- Thinly slice squash.
- Halve and thinly slice tomato lengthwise.
- In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook squash with salt and pepper to taste, stirring frequently, 2 minutes.
- Add tomato and cook until squash is barely tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in basil.
- Divide dough into 4 pieces.
- On a floured surface with floured hands rotate and stretch each piece into a 4-inch round.
- (Do not roll out, as dough has too much elasticity and will shrink.)
- Put rounds in one layer on cornmeal-dusted baking sheet.
- Grill rounds, cornmeal sides up, on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until undersides are golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
- If crusts puff up in the center, prick with a fork to allow air to escape.
- Flip crusts over with a metal spatula and top each with one fourth squash mixture.
- Sprinkle pizzettes with mozzarella and grill until undersides are golden and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
