Traditionally enjoyed during summer, it celebrates the bounty of seasonal produce. Today, this dish has gained popularity worldwide, often enjoyed at casual gatherings and barbecues, especially when grilled for a smoky flavor.

1

Start with heritage wheat flour and mix with 70% water by weight for a high hydration dough.

2

Sprinkle a little flour on the dough to prevent sticking.

3

Shape the dough by starting in the middle and pushing outwards to form a round shape, ensuring to push out air pockets.

4

Preheat the grill for cooking the pizza dough.

5

Place the dough on the grill and let one side cook to provide structural integrity for flipping.

6

Watch for bubbles to form on the dough, indicating it's time to flip it like a pancake.

7

After flipping, brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano and salt for flavor.

8

Prepare toppings by slicing fresh tomatoes and rolling fresh basil leaves.

9

Tear pieces of burrata cheese and place them on top of the cooked pizza along with the sliced tomatoes and basil.
