Steps:
- Place flour, salt and yeast in a food processor; pulse until blended. While processing, add 2 tablespoons oil and enough water in a steady stream for dough to form a ball. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes., Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1-1/2 hours., Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 2 portions. Press or roll each portion into a 10-in. circle; place each on a piece of greased foil (about 12 in. square). Brush tops with remaining oil; cover and let rest 10 minutes., For topping, in a 6-qt. stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beet greens; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds longer. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar., Carefully invert pizza crusts onto oiled grill rack; remove foil. Grill, covered, over medium heat until bottoms are lightly browned, 3-5 minutes. Turn; grill until second side begins to brown, 1-2 minutes., Remove from grill.

Steps:
- Stretch and roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin rustic round about 1/4 inch thick and 12-inches in diameter (no need to be perfectly round). Transfer to an 18-inch-long piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil and brush the pizza with the oil. Lift the whole piece of foil and put on the grill. Grill until the dough is charred on the bottom and almost cooked through, turning the foil a quarter turn a few times to ensure even cooking, 4 to 7 minutes.
- Using the foil, remove the crust from the grill. Scatter the mozzarella and Parmesan over top, add the sliced tomato and season lightly with salt and pepper. Using the foil, lift the pizza back onto the grill. Cover and grill until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove the pizza from the grill and top with the basil.
GREEN TOMATO AND CHEDDAR PIZZA
Prepared pizza dough is suppler at room temperature than when chilled, but also a bit stickier. Working on an oiled piece of foil solves the problem, and allows you to easily flip the dough onto the grill. Make sure you grill your tomatoes until tender and cooked through: Super-green ones take a bit of time to soften up while those turning toward yellow or just beginning to blush will get soft and juicy pretty quickly. If you have some bacon on hand, grill it up and crumble it over the tomatoes before the last layer of cheese goes on.

Steps:
- Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium heat. Put the olive oil in a small bowl or measuring cup. Slice the tomatoes 1/4 inch thick and spread them on a baking sheet or large tray. Put the scallions on the baking sheet. Brush everything on both sides with oil and season with salt over the top.
- Grill the tomatoes, seasoned-side down, until they develop dark grill marks, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, brush with more oil, season again and cook until charred and tender when pierced with the tip of a paring knife, another 3 to 5 minutes. Put the scallions on the grill and grill, flipping once, until charred in spots (don't overdo it) and tender when pierced in the white part, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the tomatoes and set aside. Remove the scallions and coarsely chop.
- While the tomatoes and scallions are grilling, shape the dough. Oil two 12- by 15-inch pieces of foil. Halve the pizza dough. Drape one half over your fist and gently tug and turn it, letting the weight of the edges help stretch it thinner, so that it makes a rough oblong. Then put it on the oiled foil and press, pull and push gently until it is very thin, and measures about 9 by 12 inches. Be sure to get the edges thin too, or they won't cook through on the grill. Repeat with the second piece.
- Brush the dough with olive oil. Brush the grill grate with olive oil. Leaving the dough on the foil, flip them top-side-down onto the grill and peel the foil off. Cook until the dough just comes up from the grill without sticking, about 3 minutes, and then flip. Scatter a handful of cheese and then half of the tomatoes and scallions over each pizza. Top with the rest of the cheese. Cover the grill and cook, about 6 minutes. Give the pizzas a 45-degree turn, cover and cook until the bottoms are deep golden brown, the cheese is bubbling and the dough is cooked through, another 6 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and serve.

Steps:
- Dough
- Stir yeast, sugar, and 1¼ cups warm (not hot) water in the bowl of a stand mixer until yeast dissolves. Let sit until mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add whole wheat flour, salt, and 2 Tbsp. oil to yeast mixture and mix to combine. Fit mixer with dough hook and, with mixer on low speed, gradually add 3 cups (375 g) bread flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms, about 4 minutes from when you start adding the flour. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl to incorporate any dry bits into dough. Increase mixer speed to medium and knead until dough is smooth and shiny, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to bring together. Shape into a ball, place in a large lightly oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover bowl and let dough sit in warm draft-free spot until doubled in size, 1-1½ hours. Make your toppings while your dough is rising.
- Burst Cherry Tomatoes
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until skins start to blister and split, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and toss to coat. Cook, lightly pressing on tomatoes with spoon to release juices without smashing completely, until garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Mix oregano into sauce; taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Do ahead: Sauce can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool, then cover and chill. Bring to room temperature and stir to combine before using.
- Lemony Swiss Chard
- Cut Swiss chard leaves away from ribs and stems, then cut crosswise into 3"-wide strips. Trim away woody part from stems; discard. Finely chop ribs and stems.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add ribs and stems and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they release some liquid, look slightly shriveled, and are a shade or two darker, about 5 minutes. Add leaves and red pepper flakes and toss to coat. Season with more salt and black pepper and reduce heat to medium. Cook, tossing occasionally, until leaves are bright green, wilted, and tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer chard mixture to a medium bowl and let cool slightly.
- Finely grate garlic into bowl with chard mixture, then finely grate in zest from lemon; mix well. Add Parmesan and mix again to combine. Taste and season with more salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if needed.
- Do ahead: Chard mixture can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool, then cover and chill. Bring to room temperature and stir to combine before using.
- Tomato Passata
- Purée tomatoes in a blender on low speed (or use an immersion blender if you have one) until smooth (try not to aerate it too much). Transfer sauce to a medium bowl and stir in oil and salt.
- Do ahead: Passata can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 6 months.
- Assembly
- Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Clean grate. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 pieces. Working one at a time, gently shape into balls. Transfer to a lightly floured small rimmed baking sheet and cover. Let sit 20-30 minutes.
- Place a ball of dough on a lightly floured surface (keep remaining balls covered) and, using your fingers, press out to an 8" round. Drape dough over the backs of your hands and gently pull and stretch, rotating dough as you go, until about 12" in diameter (it's okay if it's not a perfect circle).
- Brush dough with oil. Place, oiled side down, on grill over direct heat and cook until large bubbles appear across surface, dough stiffens, and underside is dark brown, about 2 minutes. Brush top with oil, turn over, and cook just to lightly dry out second side, about 30 seconds.
- Using tongs and a metal spatula, move dough over to cooler side of grill. Top with a spoonful of passata or burst cherry tomatoes and one quarter of cheese (either alone or in combination). Add pepperoni or salami (if using), then some of the lemony Swiss chard, and/or Rosemary Agrodolce as desired. Carefully slide pizza back over direct heat. Cook until cheese is melted and toppings are heated through, about 2 minutes. If dough is in danger of burning on underside but toppings need more time, return pizza to cooler side, cover grill, and cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer pizza to a cutting board and drizzle with more oil. Top with basil and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 3 more pizzas.
GREEN AND WHITE PIZZA
Topping a freshly cooked pizza with a freshly dressed salad of baby greens is a marvelous weeknight meal even if you order the pizza from down the street. But making your own, as The Times learned from the pizza mavens at Roberta's in Brooklyn, from whom we acquired this recipe, delivers even greater pleasures. Any young greens may be substituted for the arugula.

Steps:
- Prepare a hot charcoal fire with the coals mounded in the center. Punch the dough down. Oil a baking sheet, and stretch the dough out on it to form a 10- to 12-inch circle 1/8-inch thick.
- Gently lift the dough, using both hands, and drape it onto the grill over the hottest part of the fire. Within a minute, the dough will puff slightly, and the bottom will stiffen. As soon as grill marks appear on the underside, turn the dough over with tongs, and move it to the edge of the grill, away from the heat.
- Quickly brush the dough with 1 tablespoon oil. Scatter the minced garlic over the dough. Sprinkle on the cheeses, followed by the chopped tomato. Arrange the arugula leaves on top. Drizzle with the remaining oil.
- Slide the pizza back over the coals. Cook the pizza, rotating frequently, for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the bottom is slightly charred and the cheeses bubble. Serve at once.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a pizza dough that is made with a high-quality flour, such as bread flour or all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet or a cast iron skillet.
- To ensure the pizza cooks evenly, preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking.
- Use a light touch when grilling the pizza, as too much pressure will cause the dough to stick to the grill.
- Keep an eye on the pizza while it is cooking, and rotate it frequently to prevent it from burning.
- Once the pizza is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Grilled pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a pizza that is perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled pizza a try.
