Equipment

  • Pizza Stone - For creating an authentic crust by preheating it in the oven.

  • Grill Pan (Cast Iron) - Ideal for cooking a pizza directly on the stovetop, similar to grilling.

  • Food Processor with Dough Blade - Useful for mixing and kneading dough more efficiently.

  • Stand Mixer with Pasta Attachment - An alternative way to mix and knead dough if you don't have a food processor or stand mixer.

  • Pizza Peel - Helps in transferring the pizza onto the grill pan or stone without sticking.

  • Stainless Steel Rolling Pin - For rolling out your pizza dough to the desired thickness and shape.

  • Silicone Spatula - Useful for handling soft, freshly rolled-out dough with care.

  • High Heat Oven Mitts - To safely handle hot items such as a preheated stone or pan.

  • Digital Kitchen Scale (Optional) - For precise measurement of ingredients when needed.

  • Apron and Cleaning Supplies - Essential for keeping your cooking area clean, especially with pizza-making that can get messy.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (105°F to 115°F)

  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

  • 1 envelope (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

  • 3 cups (or more) all purpose flour, divided

  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for brushing

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt

  • 6 teaspoons harissa sauce*

  • 1 1/2 cups (packed) coarsely grated Gruyére cheese, divided

  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • 4 cups mixed baby greens

  • 1 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves

  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely torn

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Mix 1 1/4 cups warm water and sugar in large bowl; sprinkle yeast over. Let stand until yeast dissolves and mixture looks spongey, about 10 minutes. Whisk in 1 cup all purpose flour; let stand in warm draft-free area until mixture is bubbling, about 35 minutes.

Instruction 2

Stir whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and coarse salt into yeast mixture, then stir in 2 cups all purpose flour. Knead dough in bowl until almost smooth and beginning to pull away from sides of bowl, adding more all purpose flour by tablespoonfuls if dough is very sticky. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes. Form dough into ball. Place dough ball in oiled large bowl; turn dough to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.

Instruction 3

Punch down dough; divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each dough piece on floured surface into ball. Cover dough balls loosely with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.

Instruction 4

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Sprinkle 2 large baking sheets with flour. Roll out each dough ball on lightly floured work surface to 7- to 7 1/2-inch round, letting dough rest briefly if springing back. Transfer to floured baking sheets. Brush tops lightly with olive oil. Working in batches, grill dough rounds, oiled side up, until bottoms are firm and grill marks appear, watching to avoid burning, about 3 minutes. Turn crusts over, grilling until dough is set, about 2 minutes. Transfer crusts, grill-marked side up, to baking sheets. DO AHEAD Can be made 8 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

Instruction 5

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spread 1 teaspoon harissa very thinly over top of each pizza crust. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup Gruyére and 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Return pizzas to grill; cover and grill just until cheese melts, about 4 minutes.

Instruction 6
