-
2-1/2 (625 mL) all-purpose flour
1 pkg quick-rise instant yeast (or 1 tbsp/15 mL)
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
1/2 tsp (2 mL) granulated sugar
1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
cornmeal
Topping:
1 bunch broccoli
2 cups (500 mL) shredded fontina cheese
1 cup (250 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small red onion, sliced
3 cups (750 mL) sliced mushrooms (about 1/2 lb/250 g)
8 cherry_tomatoes, cut in thirds
2 oz (60 g) prosciutto or ham, cut in strips
1/4 cup (50 mL) grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup (50 mL) shredded fresh basil
Preparation:
In large bowl, combine 1-3/4 cup (425 mL) of flour, yeast, salt and sugar. With wooden spoon, stir in 1 cup (250 mL) very hot water (between 120°F and 130°F/50°C and 55°C) and oil. Beat in enough of the remaining flour to make firm but soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead dough for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic; cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Dust two 12-inch (30 cm) round pizza pans with cornmeal. Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface, roll out each half into 13-inch (33 cm) circle. Place on pizza pans, folding excess dough underneath.
Topping: Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces. In pot of boiling water, cook for three minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water; drain again. Combine Fontina and mozzarella cheeses. Sprinkle each pizza with 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the cheese mixture, half of the broccoli, garlic, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes and prosciutto. Sprinkle 1 cup (250 mL) of the cheese mixture and half of the Parmesan over top of each pizza.
Grill, in covered barbecue, over medium-high heat for about 12 minutes or until crust is crisp and cheese is melted, rotating pizza pan once. (Or, bake on lowest rack in 500°F/260°C oven for about 12 minutes.) Sprinkle with basil.
