Smoky Grilled Pizza with Greens & Tomatoes
This smoky grilled pizza scores big with me for two reasons. It encourages my husband and son to eat greens, and it showcases fresh produce. —Sarah Gray, Erie, CO

3 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. active dry yeast 3 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
1¹ ₄ to 1¹ ₂ cups warm water
(120° to 130°)
TOPPING
2 Tbsp. olive oil
10 cups beet greens,
coarsely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar ³₄ cup prepared pesto
³₄ cup shredded Italian
cheese blend
¹₂ cup crumbled feta cheese 2 medium heirloom
tomatoes, thinly sliced ¹₄ cup fresh basil leaves,

1. Place flour, salt and yeast in a food processor; pulse until blended. While processing, add 2 Tbsp. oil and enough water in a steady stream for dough to form a ball. Turn the dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes.
2. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic
wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled, about 1¹₂ hours.
3. Punch down dough. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into two portions. Press or roll each portion into a 10-in. circle; place each on a 12x12-in. piece of greased foil. Brush tops with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Cover with plastic wrap; let rest 10 minutes.
4. In a 6-qt. stockpot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add beet greens; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic; cook 30 seconds longer. Remove from heat; stir in the balsamic vinegar.
5. Carefully invert pizza crusts onto oiled grill rack; remove foil. Grill, covered, over medium heat until the bottoms are lightly browned,
3-5 minutes. Turn; grill until second side begins to brown, 1-2 minutes.
6. Remove from grill. Spread with pesto; top with beet greens, cheeses and tomatoes. Return pizzas to grill. Cook, covered, over medium heat until cheese is melted, 2-4 minutes. Sprinkle with basil.
