Galbani® Grilled Summer Pizza

INGREDIENTS
| Semolina flour, for sprinkling | |
| 16 oz. | Pizza dough |
| 1 | Large zucchini, cut into discs |
| 15 oz. | Galbani Ricotta |
| Lemon zest from half a lemon | |
| Salt and pepper (Black salt recommended) | |
| Extra virgin olive oil | |
| 16 oz. | Galbani 1882 Fresh Mozzarella Pre-Sliced Log |
| 8 | Slices prosciutto |
| 1 | Small handful fresh basil |
METHOD
-
Place dough on a work surface lightly floured with semolina flour and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
-
Salt zucchini discs 1 hour ahead in strainer to remove excess water.
-
Ricotta mixture: Mix Ricotta, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
-
Grill or sauté the zucchini for two minutes per side. Set aside.
-
Heat grill to the highest temperature (600 degrees F, if possible).
-
Roll out pizza dough to create an oblong, organic shape.
-
Brush one side of dough with olive oil.
-
Grill dough: Lay dough on grill with olive oil-side down. Brush top of dough with thin layer of olive oil. Let dough cook for about 3 minutes with the lid off, or 1 to 2 minutes with the lid on. Use tongs to lift dough periodically to prevent scorching. The dough should have grill marks on it, but it should not get crispy.
-
Remove dough from grill.
-
Top pizza: Spread the grilled side of the dough with a thin layer of Ricotta mixture. Layer Mozzarella slices evenly, then top with zucchini. Drizzle lightly with olive oil.
-
Cook pizza: Return topped pizza to the grill and cook with the lid on for about 3 minutes.
-
Remove from oven and garnish with prosciutto and basil.
