Ingredients




pizza dough rounds, room temp, cut into thirds
olive oil
Italian seasoned salt
fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
arugula
lemons
prosciutto
salt & pepper

Preparation

1 Preheat your grill to a medium high flame. 2 Stretch out each piece of pizza dough until relatively thin. You can use a rolling pin or simply stretch by holding onto the edges of the dough and rotate the dough in your hands, letting gravity pull it. I love keeping the shape of the pizza rustic for this. 3 Get the arugula ready by simply tossing it with fresh squeezed lemon juice, salt and a good amount of pepper. Set to the side. 4 Brush one side of each piece with olive oil and a good sprinkle of Italian seasoned salt. 5 Place the brushed side down onto the grill and cook for about 3 minutes until nice and crisp. Flip the dough and brush again with olive oil and sprinkle with the seasoned salt. 6 Layer on some mozzarella and shut the lid to help melt the cheese. Once the dough is crisp on the other side you are good to go. 7 Carefully move the pizza onto a cutting board. Top with a nice amount of the arugula and the then some rustically torn pieces of prosciutto.
