Instructions
- To prepare the dough, combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt and pepper in a standing mixer bowl. Add warm water and olive oil and kneed using the hook attachment, until all the ingredients are incorporated forming a soft dough
- Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 2 hours
- After the dough has risen, roll onto a 10×15 baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 500F for about 8 minutes. Let it cool slightly
- In the meantime, prepare the chocolate sauce. Combine all the ingredients in a small sauce pan. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until the chocolate chips have melted and all the ingredients are well combined. Remove from heat and puree using an immersion blender (you can also use a regular blender). Set aside
- Turn on the grill. Cut the pizza dough into 6 squares. Place the dough squares on the grill until they start to lightly crisp up and grill marks start to appear. Remove from grill and set aside
- To prepare the fruit topping, combine fruit n a large bowl. Add olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper and toss carefully, so it’s well coated
- Carefully place the fruit on the grill and cook until it starts to caramelize on both sides
- To assemble the pizza, spoon chocolate sauce over each square and top with grilled fruit. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar (optional)
