Directions:
Please visit my "Grilled Pizza Dough" page for the recipe.
*Remember to use a fork and gently poke all over. This is crucial as it will prevent the crust from puffing up.*
In a griddle over medium heat, gently place in the dough.
Carefully and gently, use your hands to press down the dough to make sure the whole dough sits fully on the griddle.
Brush the top with some sesame oil.
Grill until lightly charred.
Flip the dough.
Immediately turn the heat down to medium-low.
Grate some mozzarella and parmigiano over the pizza.
Top with figs and prosciutto, spreading out evenly.
Immediately cover the griddle to generate steam for the cheese to melt.
As soon as the cheese melts and the bottom is lightly charred, remove the cover.
Remove the pizza from the heat and transfer it onto a serving plate.
Sprinkle some arugula over the pizza.
Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil and reduced balsamic vinegar over the pizza.
Repeat the steps for the remaining pizza.
Slice and serve immediately.
The combination somehow works...
