Grilled Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto
Makes: 8 slices
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes

BEER PAIRING
Pair with an International Pale Lager, like Peroni®
Ditch the oven and step outside the box for a summery way to cook pizza. Toss it on the grill, and pair it with an International Pale Lager that will contrast the salty, savory prosciutto for a simple, impressive take on your cookout.
Even pizza is better on the grill. The notes of lightly toasted bread in Peroni® provide the perfect complement to the grilled pizza dough. As for the tasty toppings, the subtle malt sweetness brings a mouthwatering contrast to the salty, savory Proscuitto and acidity of the tomatoes.
INGREDIENTS
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
1 14-ounce pizza dough
4 tablespoons canola oil
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
8-10 fresh basil leaves
8 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced and torn into pieces
PREPARATION
STEP 1
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
STEP 2
In a bowl, combine tomatoes, garlic, oregano, olive oil and salt.
STEP 3
Stretch or roll out pizza dough into a 14- to 16-inch circle. Coat one side of the pizza dough with 2 tablespoons of canola oil and place oil side down on the grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes until charred and the pizza releases easily from the grill. Coat the top of the dough with the remaining oil and flip the dough over. Immediately spread the grilled side of the pizza with the tomato sauce and mozzarella slices. Grill for another 2-3 minutes until the pizza has set and the cheese is melted. Transfer pizza to a cutting board.
STEP 4
Top the pizza with basil, then prosciutto. Slice and serve.
