Note: We used Gas Stove place Long Grilling pan, it will cover 2 gas burners

Serves: 4

Dough

*1 and 1/2 teaspoon Dry Active Yeast

*3/4 cup Warm Water, 105*F. – 110*F

*1 tablespoon Sugar

*1 cup All-purpose Flour

*1 cup Whole Wheat Flour

*1 teaspoon Kosher Salt

*2 tablespoons Extra Light Olive Oil, more for coating grill and bowl

Pizza

*1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese

*2 to 3 cups Spring Mix Baby Greens

*1/2 cup sliced Red Tomatoes

*6 to 7 Basil Leaves, roughly chopped or torn

*Fresh Ground Sea Salt

*Fresh Ground Black Pepper

*Lemon Oil, see recipe below

*1/4 cup tablespoons Pine Nuts, toasted if desired

Lemon Oil (make while dough rises)

*1/2 cup Extra Light Olive Oil

*1 to 2 Lemons, peeled with as very little white pith as possible

In a Sauce pan, heat the oil on medium low heat with Lemon Peels. Simmer for about 5 minutes and set aside for about 20 minutes.

Instructions:

For making dough and Pizza:

1. In a 2 cup bowl add the yeast, warm water and sugar,set aside until bubbly.

2. Whisk together in a Large bowl add the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour.

3. Add to the flour mixture the bubbly yeast mixture, stir together and knead the dough for about 8 minutes until smooth.

4. Remove the dough and oil bowl, replace Dough and Cover with a damp cloth and allow the dough to rise about 1 hour.

5. Preheat the oven 400*F.

6. Using a Gas oven using 2 burners, place a long grill pan.

7. After dough has risen punch down the dough and divide into 2 dough pieces.

8. Roll out each roll dough into a oblong shape about 12 inches in length. Note: I used both pieces, and I made one large oblong pizza, but I think making two separate is a better idea.)

9. Oil the grill well and medium high heat, heat grill pan until hot. Place on the rolled out dough onto hot grill and grill 2 to 4 minutes. Brush oil on the top of the dough and flip over the pizza and grill another 2 to 4 minutes. Repeat for the second pizza.

10. Remove from the grill on a cutting board and spread on 1/2 the ricotta cheese and 1/2 of above listed toppings in the order listed and drizzle with the lemon oil just before serving. Repeat again for the second pizza. Enjoy!
