An excellent appetizer sure to please your most discerning guests!
Ingredients:
-
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
-
1 cup water, lukewarm
-
2 cups flour
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon sugar
-
4 oz. goat cheese
-
bunch fresh oregano, washed and chopped
-
bunch fresh basil, washed and chopped
-
bunch fresh parsley, washed and chopped
-
1 head garlic, roasted (see note below)
-
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
Steps:
- To make a flatbread or pizza dough, dissolve the yeast in warm water, with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar. Add the flour, olive oil and salt, and knead until elastic. Let rest 10 minutes before rolling out. No risings are required for this flat pizza.
- Alternatively, substitute the pizza dough recipe with a prepared pizza shell, or use frozen dough, thawed. If you have a bread maker, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to make pizza dough.
- Place the rolled pizza dough on an oiled pan. Scatter the top with the remaining ingredients.
- Preheat the barbecue on HIGH. Place the pizza on the grill, reduce heat to MEDIUM and close the grill lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it is crispy and the cheese is melted.
- If you use a prepared shell instead, place it directly on the cooking grids.
- NOTE: To roast the garlic, place the whole head on a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle it with a tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap the foil tightly around the garlic. Place on grill or in 177ºC (350ºF) oven for 30-40 minutes, or until soft. Let cool, then squeeze the sweet, roasted garlic from each clove into a small bowl.
