Pizza on the Grill (May 2022)

Kim hosted a Pizza on the Grill garden party.

Here is Kim's pizza dough, ready to be shaped into pizzas and topped with various toppings.

We had different toppings that we ended up combining creatively and to our hearts' delight. Below are a few of our creations.

  

Katharina had made a delicious salad that complemented the pizzas well.

For dessert, we had Lauren's cookie pizza topped with a caramelized and fresh fruit.

 

Coca topping (Christiane)

• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 red bell pepper
• 2 onions
• 1 garlic cloves
• 200 g (7 oz) spinach leaves
• 4 TL (4 tbsp) olive oil
• salt

1. Clean and deseed the bell peppers, cut them into stripes. Peel and halve the onion, then cut it into stripes. Peel and slice the garlic cloves. Wash and dry the spinach leaves.
2. In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, saute until soft and translucent (do not brown them), then take them out and set them aside.
3. Add 1 tbsp olive oil, briefly saute and salt the spinach, then take it out and set it aside.
4. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, saute the red and yellow bell pepper for about 2 minutes, salt and remove from the skillet.

Use the prepared vegetables to top your pizza.

Flammkuchen topping with smoked salmon and goats cheese (Christiane)

While not a pizza topping, it worked pretty well.

• 3 Tl (3 tsp) green peppercorns (in marinade)
• 300 g (10.5 oz) mild goats cheese
• 100 g (3.5 oz) creme fraiche
• 200 g (7 oz) smoked salmon (thinly sliced is preferrable)
• 2 red apples
• 2 EL (2 tbsp) lemon juice
• 1 bunch of dill
• 4 TL (4 tsp) honey

1. Drain the green peppercorns, chop finely and mix with goats cheese and creme fraiche.
2. Cut salmon into reasonably sized bits that will look nice on the pizza.
3. Wash the apples, slice thinly and immediately mix with the lemon juice.
4. Chop the dill (I didn't because I like the decorative look of the dill fronds)

To top your pizza, spread some of the cheese mix and then add apple slices, salmon strips and dill.
