Directions:

  1. Please visit my "Grilled Pizza Dough" page for the recipe.

  2. Please visit my "How To Ferment Garlic In Honey" page for the recipe.

  3. Make the Garlic Sauce Butter.

  4. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 100g of butter.

  5. Add in chopped shallots and garlic.

  6. Sauté until soft and fragrant.

  7. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.

  8. Add a splash of white wine and cook until the alcohol evaporates.

  9. Pour this mixture over 20g of cold butter in a large bowl.

  10. Stir until fully melted and combined. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.

  11. Chill in the fridge until it solidifies.

  12. Grill the Pizza.

  13. Roll out your pizza dough.

  14. Brush a griddle with sesame oil.

  15. Use a fork to gently poke holes all over the dough to prevent puffing.

  16. Place the dough onto the griddle over medium heat.

  17. Press down gently to ensure even contact.

  18. Brush the top with sesame oil.

  19. Grill until the bottom is lightly charred.

  20. Flip the dough and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low.

  21. Assemble and Cook.

  22. Spread the chilled garlic butter evenly over the hot dough—it will melt as it hits the surface.

  23. Grate some fermented garlic on top.

  24. Drizzle with fermented garlic honey.

  25. Grate provolone and pecorino cheese over everything.

  26. Cover the griddle with a lid to melt the cheese and trap steam.

  27. Once the cheese is melted and the bottom is charred, remove from heat.

  28. Finish and Serve.

  29. Transfer the pizza to a serving plate.

  30. Top with fresh arugula and alfalfa sprouts.

  31. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

  32. Slice and serve immediately.

  33. Repeat for any remaining dough.
