Grilled Fruit Pizza

Pizza Dough:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp yeast

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp sea salt

¼ tsp freshly ground pepper

¾ warm water

¼ cup Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Chocolate Sauce:

3 tbsp Colavita Crushed Tomatoes

3 tbsp dark chocolate chips

2 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Fruit Topping:

2 bananas, cut in half and sliced lengthwise

4 slices canned pineapple

1 mango, ripe but firm, sliced

1 tbsp Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tsp sugar

¼ tsp sea salt

⅛ tsp freshly ground pepper

Confectioner's sugar (optional)

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 10x15 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)
