27699 Prosciutto, Basil and Olive Pizza Tue Sep 01 10:19:20 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 10:31:46 -0700 2009 Easy Italian User http://www.chow.com/recipes/27699 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:31:46 GMT I wanted to make a pizza modeled after my favorite and 2nd favorite pizza places, Pepe’s Pizza in New Haven, CT and Vic and Angelo’s in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. The key to a great pizza is heat heat and more heat. My oven can only get up to 500 degrees, I wanted to try to hit the 700 degree ballpark. To do so I would use wood (which burns hotter than charcoal) and charcoal. I would also cook my pizza on the grill on a pizza stone.

  • Place the dough in a well oiled large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm place and let rise until doubled, 60-90mins
  • After dough has risen sprinkle flour over working surface and on rolling pin and roll dough to desired size.
  • Preheat oven to 450 deg or max temperature. If cooking on grill, light coals and/or wood.
  • Spread the sauce over the dough. Add mozzarella then remaining topping.
  • When the flames die out and the wood/coals are bright red, put pizza stone on top of grill grate and allow the pizza stone to get hot.
  • Sprinkle parmesan cheese over pizza and cook in covered grill for 10mins or until crust is browned. If cooking in 450 degree oven cook for 15-20mins.
