Ingredients

  1. For The Dough:
  2. 560 grams 00 flour
  3. 12 grams kosher salt
  4. 11 grams instant yeast
  5. 2 ¼ cups warm water
  6. 1 teaspoon honey
  7. Toppings:
  8. 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  9. 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  10. 1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese
  11. 4 tablespoons garlic, minced
  12. ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  13. Basil (optional)
  14. For The Salad:
  15. 16 ounces salad mix
  16. 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
  17. ½ english cucumber, cubed
  18. ½ red onion, sliced thinly
  19. ¼ cup Kalamata olives
  20. For The Dressing:
  21. ⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  22. 6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  23. 4 tablespoons mayo
  24. 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  25. 2 teaspoons sugar
  26. 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  27. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  28. 1 teaspoon salt
  29. 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  30. 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients for the dough in a bowl or stand mixer and mix for 5-10 minutes. Remove and place the dough in a pre oiled bowl and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours, until doubled in size.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into four even balls. Place each in a covered quart-sized deli container or in a zipper-lock freezer bag. Place in the refrigerator and allow to rise at least 2 more days, and up to 4. Remove from the refrigerator, shape into balls, and allow to rest at room temperature for at least 2 hours before baking. Roll the dough out and place on a pizza tray with cornmeal to keep the pizza from sticking.
  3. Preheat the Egg to 550-600° and set up with a platesetter. Dress the pizza by adding extra-virgin olive oil and garlic as the base of the pizza. Add a generous layer of parmesan cheese and then spread some torn pieces of fresh mozzarella. Sprinkle with parsley and bake the pizza on the stone for 5-6 minutes. This pizza shouldn't take long at all.
  4. For the salad dressing, in a high powered blender add mayo, mustard, sugar, and red wine vinegar. Begin blending on low and slowly drizzle in all of the extra-virgin olive oil. Add all of the spices and pulse 1-2 times. Remove from the blender and set aside.
  5. For the salad, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and toss with the dressing. Serve on a platter and garnish with parmesan cheese.
  6. Lastly pull the pizza from the grill and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes. Optionally, garnish the pizza with fresh herbs like torn basil. Slice and serve with the salad.
