📖 Instructions

1. First, prepare your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F or 200-230°C). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent the dough from sticking. This is important, my friend almost ruined his pizza once!
2. Stretch or roll out the pizza dough: On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch or roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or oval. Don't worry about making it perfect; rustic is charming! If you're using store-bought dough, let it rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes before stretching. This makes it more pliable and easier to work with.
3. Brush with olive oil: Brush one side of the dough generously with olive oil. This will help prevent sticking and create a golden-brown, crispy crust. Plus, olive oil just makes everything better, doesn't it?
4. Grill the first side: Carefully place the oiled side of the dough directly onto the hot grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly charred and golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning, my uncle burned his pretty badly the first time.
5. Flip and grill the second side: Using tongs or a large spatula, carefully flip the dough over. Brush the grilled side with more olive oil. Did you know you can get olive oil in spray form? It makes life so much easier!
6. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the grilled side of the pizza with shredded mozzarella cheese. Use a generous amount, but don't overload it. Remember, we'll be adding more toppings later, so don't go crazy with the cheese now, ok?
7. Grill until cheese is melted: Close the grill lid and continue grilling for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent the crust from burning, especially if your grill runs hot. Oh man, my dad burned his pizza pretty badly once, he had to start all over!
8. Remove from grill and add toppings: Carefully remove the pizza from the grill and place it on a cutting board. Now comes the fun part: arrange the prosciutto slices evenly over the melted cheese. Then, scatter the arugula on top.
9. Drizzle with balsamic glaze: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the pizza in a zigzag pattern. If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it reduces and thickens. It's super easy, I promise.
10. Slice and serve: Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy the smoky, savory, and slightly sweet flavors of your homemade grilled pizza! Oh wow, what a trip, wasnt it? Congrats on your grilled pizza
