Where did this summer go?! To say it flew by is an understatement. I already miss the warm summer days.I feel so lucky that we were able to spend so much time out in Long Island enjoying the beach, sand, sun, lazy mornings, lots of grilling and cooking with farm stand produce. I have been cooking so much and I apologize for not writing all about it here. I made this absolutely delicious snack with some beautiful eggplants I got at the farmer's stand. I also made tons of ceviche using fresh fish, guacamole, lots of grilled fish and a new carrot salad with minced lamb that has quickly become a standard go to dish.
One of my favorite discoveries this summer, was grilled pizza. The recepie came via my dear friend Natalia, she made it several times for the family she was private cheffing for this summer. I know, dough, kneading etc seems like a lot of work, but please trust me this is such a simple dough recipe and from then on it is basically assembly method. If making the dough stops you from trying this, then simply buy a prepared dough from the supermarket, i am sure it will be equally mouthwatering.
Here I am grilling and chilling
And Voila! Another closeup of la pizza!
For the Dough:
2 3/4 c bread flour
1/4 c semolina flour
2 t rapid rise (instant) yeast
1 1/2 t sea salt (not coarse!)
1 c cold water
3T EVOO
-Combine ingredients up to the salt in food processor
-Pour the water -pulsing in the food processor until it forms a ball
-knead for 2 minutes, let rise in an oiled bowl for 1.5 hrs
-flatten, oil the dough on both sides, and place on a hot grill until it bubbles a bit
-flip, add the tomato sauce, tomato slices and the cheese and close the grill for about five minutes.
ENJOY!
