Deli prepared pizza dough (favorites are Whole Foods, Harmons, and TJ’s) Peaches Mozzarella Prosciutto Arugula Pistachios, chopped Parmesan shavings Balsamic glaze Basil Ground Pepper Leave your dough out at room temperature before you start stretching. Drizzle generouslywith EVOO and place directly on the grill or in oven (grill is much better). Layer on ingredients and serve!

If you happen to have leftover pizza dough, this sweet yet savory pizza is perfect served alongside a large chicken salad or as an appetizer. Store-bought pizza dough, grilled BlackBerries Burrata cheese Basil Pine Nuts Ground Pepper Same pizza dough directions as yesterday’s post. Top with blackberries, Burrata, and pine nuts. Grill or broil for three minutes. Top with basil and cracked pepper. ETC. Both yesterday’s and today’s pizzas can easily be made into salads. You can also serve the pizza dough with olive oil and salt on the side of a salad. I always make extra grilled pizza dough with no toppings to use for sandwiches, wraps or dessert pizzas later in the week
