Grilled Pineapple Prosciutto Arugula Pizza #Sundaysupper

Pineapple, Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza #SundaySupperFull Disclosure. If you are one of those people who likes your food to look perfect, this is not the recipe for you. If you are one of those people who likes really tasty grub, no matter how it looks, this may be the recipe for you. If you are borderline obsessed with crispy pizza, then this is your recipe. If you love making an entire recipe on the grill, keeping the kitchen mess-free, you need to make this.

Now that we have that clear, let me introduce you to one of life’s little savory treasures. There is a chance that you may never look at pizza the same again. Grilled Pineapple Prosciutto Arugula Pizza – It’s a life changing event. It’s hard to believe that I had never made grilled pizza before. The most difficult part of this pizza was the darn shape. I tell you, I just don’t know how anyone can make a perfectly round or rectangle pizza. I stretched, I pulled, I rolled, I massage, I kinda tossed it and this thing just would not make a circle. I finally got it to look somewhat rectangular. I placed it on the hot grill, I took my eyes off of it five minutes, and next thing I knew it was shaped somewhat like a ghost.

Like I mentioned, if you are a perfectionist, do not try making this recipe. It will be one of the most frustrating things you will do. You will spend hours trying to shape it, only to find that it changes into something else the minute you leave it alone on the grill.

Grilled Pineapple Prosciutto Arugula Pizza #SundaySupperWhat you give up in looks, you make up in flavor. Especially if you love a little bit of sweet and salty all in the same dish. The combination of cinnamon, paprika and cumin comes together with the sweet grilled pineapple and salty prosciutto to make a fusion of flavors that is truly memorable. That alone would be amazing but we took it one step further by topping it with arugula in a pineapple dressing. This Grilled Pineapple Prosciutto Arugula Pizza is the bomb!

I used dough purchased from my local grocer but if you like, feel free to make your own pizza dough. I can't imagine this recipe tasting any better, but you never know.
Ingredients
  • 1 16 ounce pizza dough ball
  • handful of flour to sprinkle so dough won't stick
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon roasted ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 4 slices of fresh pineapple, cut into approximately ¼ inch slices
  • 2 cups Mexican blend finely shredded cheese, monterey jack, cheddar, queso
  • 4 slices prosciutto, sliced thin
  • 2 cups Arugula, rinsed
  • For the Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons juice from the pineapple
  • 2 additional teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Fresh ground sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to medium.
  2. Sprinkle a dry surface or cutting board with flour
  3. Stretch, pull, roll the dough into the shape that you would like. We prefer a large pizza with crispy thin dough, so we stretch ours quite a bit. I hope you are better at shaping this pizza than I am.
  4. When dough is shaped, brush olive oil on both sides of the pizza using a pastry brush.
  5. Sprinkle one side with smoked paprika, cumin and cinnamon.
  6. Place the pizza in the center of a hot grill and cook for approximately 15 minutes.
  7. Brush the pineapple with olive oil and place the pineapple circles on the grill.
  8. Once the bottom is crispy and the top is cooked through, sprinkle the cheese on top of the pizza.
  9. Cut the prosciutto into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the cheese.
  10. Shut the grill and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  11. Flip the pineapple so that they are lightly grilled on both sides.
  12. Once the cheese is bubbling, remove the pizza from the grill and let sit for a couple of minutes. Remove the pineapple circles from the grill and place them on top of the pizza. Set one slice aside.
  13. Combine the additional 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive with the pineapple juice and coat the arugula evenly in the dressing.
  14. Place the arugula on top of the pizza and add the one additional pineapple slice.
  15. Cut pizza and serve immediately

I used dough from our local store but if you would like to try making your own dough, here are two amazing recipes for you to try from Bobbi’s Kozy Kitchen, Whole Food Real Families and A Day in the Life on the Farm.

  1. Rustic is a good thing! Who cares what shape the pizza is when it tastes so good? Not me. Not at all. And BTW I also am pizza shaping challenged. I envy those who can make a perfectly round one.
