Directions
CREATED BY: RICK RODGERS
Prepare a medium-hot fire in an outdoor grill. For a gas grill, preheat on High, then adjust to Medium-High (about 230°C). For a charcoal grill, let coals burn for about 15 minutes after white ashes form on surface, and you can hold your hand just above cooking grate for about 3 seconds.
Lightly flour large rimless cookie sheet or upturned baking sheet. Place dough on sheet and pat and stretch into 30 cm diameter round. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 10 minutes. Shake sheet to be sure dough is not sticking and slides easily--add additional flour under dough if needed.
Coat grill grate lightly with oil. Slide dough off sheet onto grill. Cover and grill until underside of dough is golden brown and toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn dough and use pastry brush (preferably long-handled) to brush off excess flour. Scatter cheese, then berries, over dough. Cover and grill until other side is toasted and dough is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to serving platter.
Gently press berries into cheese to help them adhere. Sprinkle pizza with mint and grind pepper on top. Cut into 8 wedges. Serve hot, with balsamic vinegar passed on the side to add to taste.
