The Experience of Grilled Pizza




I don't have a recipe for these delicious pizzas  (or vege flatbreads) but I can tell you what I did: 
1) First I made a simple pizza dough using whole wheat flour (for nutritional purposes) but you could use white flour if you so desired. But to make the dough more elastic and stretchy and non-stick I added probably a 1/4 cup olive oil to the dough, and let the dough rise for 1.5 hours in some olive oil. 
2) I used a charcoal grill (and real charcoal) to grill up some veges: eggplant, onion, red pepper, and zuchinee (you can use what ever vegetables you like)
3) after the veges were grilled I took the pizza dough I had prepared (by rolling it out on a floured surface) and threw it on a really hot grill. It is critical that the grill is REALLY HOT. I grilled it on both sides. Took it off the grill to add toppings then put it back on the grill just to melt the cheese. 
4) I sprinkled the pizzas with some fresh chard from my garden. 
5) SAT DOWN and ATE it with a beautiful side salad with lettuce  and nasturiums (an edible flour) from my garden. 

bon appetite!
