PIZZA WITH PROSCIUTTO, BASIL & GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Pizza Dough: Mix 1 package yeast with 3/4 cup warm water and 1 tsp sugar and let sit for a few minutes, until foamy. Combine 2 cups all purpose plain flour, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbs dried basil and 1/2 tsp salt in a bowl. Stir in yeast mixture. Knead on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic, 10 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl, turn, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1-2 hours. Divide in half and form into 2 balls. Use as directed. Pizza: Prepare grill for indirect cooking over high heat (400F/200C) and oil the grill rack. For gas grills, shape dough to fit unheated portion of the grill or trim precooked pizza rounds as necessary. If using homemade dough, roll each ball out on lightly floured board into a 10" (25cm) round. Whether using homemade or precooked rounds, brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with a little cornmeal. Place rounds on unheated portion of grill. Cook, turning once, until grill marked and cooked or heated through, 5-8 minutes on each side for uncooked pizza rounds, 2-4 minutes on each side for precooked rounds. Transfer to work surface. Grill bell peppers directly over high heat, turning to char and blister them on all sides, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to paper bag, close bag, and let cool for 10 minutes. Peel and cut open the peppers to remove the seeds and stems. Chop and set aside. Spread half the tomato sauce on each pizza round. Top each round with half the bell peppers and half prosciutto. Dot each pizza with half of the goat cheese and sprinkle with half of the basil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle a little olive oil on top. Place pizzas on the unheated part of the grill, cover the grill, and bake over indirect high heat until the topping is thoroughly heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
