TOTAL TIME: 0 hours 25 mins

INGREDIENTS

1 lb. mixed tomatoes

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp. olive oil

4 tsp. olive oil

kosher salt

Pepper

1/4 c. fresh basil

flour

1 lb. pizza dough (thawed, if frozen)

4 oz. part-skim mozzarella

3 c. arugula

shaved Parmesan

DIRECTIONS

Heat the grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; fold in the basil.

On a lightly floured surface, shape the pizza dough into two 10-inch rounds. Place on a baking sheet and brush the top of each round with 1 teaspoon oil. Transfer to the grill, oiled-side down, and cook, covered, until the tops begin to bubble and the bottoms become crisp, about 2 minutes.

Brush the top of each round with 1 teaspoon oil. Turn over, sprinkle the grilled sides with the mozzarella and cook, covered, until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp and the mozzarella has melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board.

Fold the arugula into the tomato mixture. Spoon the mixture over the pizza; top with Parmesan, if desired.

Tips & Techniques

Prep Tip: If the pizza dough shrinks back as you stretch it, let it rest for 10 minutes or so before trying to shape it again.
