How do you combine the greatest tastes of Summer in one dish? Use whats ready in the garden and fire away! I love making an easy Pizza combination of Summer flavors with what's in my garden at the time. I use fresh diced melon for a fantastic sweet and salty pizza, as featured on The Rusty Potts Show 92.1FM WLNG.
Follow my basic pizza recipe: (any summer stone fruit works as well)
Pizza dough
Garlic, minced fine
Olive Oil
salt and pepper
Fresh basil cut in thin strips
Fresh grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
Diced fresh Musk melon!
Thin strips of ham
Fresh slices of Mozzarella (balls purchased in water (better) they can be sliced to one quarter inch pieces)
Heat up your Big Green Egg to 550 degrees with the plate setter in and pizza stone on top before heating up. In the meantime oil your hands and get the dough (which can be store bought) ready to room temperature. Sprinkle your pizza peel with CORN MEAL (the best kept secret to great Pizza Crust) and then stretch out your dough with oiled hands and place on the peel. Put a tablespoon of oil on the pizza with the chopped garlic and basil and then cheese.
Cook at 550 for 12 minutes then open and spread with fresh slices of mozzarella. Close lid for two minutes and open again sprinkling with ham and melon bits. Take out in two minutes and enjoy!
