Grilled Hawaiian Pizza
- 1 pound prepared pizza dough, at room temperature, halved
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups diced pineapple (from about 1/2 pineapple)
- 1 bunch scallions, cut into 1-to-2-inch pieces
- 1/4 pound deli-sliced ham
- 3/4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese (about 3 ounces)
- 3/4 cup shredded muenster cheese (about 3 ounces)
- Preheat a grill to medium.
- Shape each piece of pizza dough into a ball.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on each of 2 rimmed baking sheets, place 1 dough ball on each baking sheet and turn to coat in the oil.
- Place a metal cooling rack upside down on the grill perpendicular to the grill grates (or use a grill basket); brush the rack with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Working in batches, grill the pineapple, scallions and ham, turning as needed, until lightly charred, 5 to 8 minutes per batch; transfer to a plate as each batch is done.
- Cut the ham slices in half, if desired.
- Using tongs, remove the cooling rack from the grill.
- Pat and stretch or roll each dough ball into an approximately 8-by-12-inch oval.
- Carefully place each piece of dough directly on the grill and cook until marked and golden, about 5 minutes.
- Flip the crusts and top evenly with the cheese, ham, scallions and pineapple.
- Continue grilling until the cheese melts and the crust is cooked through, about 6 more minutes.
- (If the crust is browning too quickly, slide the pizzas to the outer edge of the grill.)
- Transfer the pizzas to a cutting board and cut into pieces.
