Best 9 Grilled Pizza With Cheesy Corn Fresh Tomatoes And Basil Recipes

PIZZA WITH FRESH TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• Position 1 oven rack in the center and the second rack on the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Sprinkle the cornmeal over 2 rimless baking sheets. Roll out each piece of Pizza Dough into a 10 to 11-inch-diameter round. Transfer 1 dough to each prepared baking sheet.
• Drizzle 2 teaspoons of oil over each Pizza Dough. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the Pizza Dough, dividing equaling and leaving a 1-inch border around each pizza. Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer over the cheese. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Arrange basil leaves on top, drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle garlic all over. Bake the pizzas until the crusts are crisp and brown on the bottom and the cheese is melted on top, about 15 minutes. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of oil over each pizza. Sprinkle with basil for garnish and salt. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
• Mix the warm water and yeast in a small bowl to blend. Let stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt in a food processor to blend. Blend in the oil. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture and blend just until the dough forms. Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm draft-free area until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 hour. Punch the down dough and divide into 2 equal balls. (The dough can be used immediately or stored airtight in the refrigerator for 1 day.)

Steps:

• Prepare dough as directed. Divide dough into 4 parts and let rest as directed. Meanwhile, cook corn, covered, in boiling water to cover in a medium saucepan for 2 minutes or until tender. Drain; pat dry. Set aside.
• On an greased baking sheet, pat and press or roll each part out to a very thin, rough circle that measures 10 to 12 inches in diameter. (Don't worry if pizza is not perfectly round, but more irregular in shape. That adds to the charm.) In a large bowl, combine cooked corn, chopped tomato, and basil, if using; set aside.
• For a charcoal grill, carefully slide two dough circles onto the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes or until dough is puffed in some places and starting to become firm. Carefully turn the crusts with tongs. Working quickly and carefully, brush oil over grilled top of crust. Spread each pizza with pesto, if using, and top with 1/4 of the corn mixture and 1/2 cup shredded Fontina. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes more or until cheese is melted and crust is crisp. Remove pizzas from grill. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium-hot. Place dough circles on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
• Repeat grilling with remaining 2 dough parts and toppings. Serve immediately. If desired, sprinkle pizzas with crushed red pepper. Makes four 10- to 12-inch pizzas (4 to 6 servings).
