Ingredients

  • •1/2 frozen store-bought pizza dough, defrosted
  • •3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for grilling
  • •6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
  • •1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut crosswise
  • •1 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • •3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • •1/2 cup pitted black olives (recommended: kalamata)
  • •2 tablespoons capers, drained
  • •1 bunch arugula
  • •Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat grill to 350 degrees F.

Place 1/2 the defrosted dough on an oiled baking sheet. Stretch out the dough to form a rough rectangle almost the size of the baking sheet, about 9 by 13 inches.

Lift the dough from the baking sheet, from 1 end and carefully place it on the grill. When the bottom is browned, around 3 to 5 minutes, using a tongs, turn the pizza crust over.

Continue cooking for about 1 minute, or until the second side begins to brown. Using tongs move the crust to a cooler area of the gill and brush it with olive oil.

Add half of the toppings, beginning with the mozzarella, then the tomato, red onion, garlic, olives, and capers. After 2 to 4 minutes, the cheese will be melted.

Slide the pizza onto a baking sheet, place half of the arugula on top and season with salt and pepper.

Repeat with the other 1/2 of dough.
