Ingredients:

2 tsps

Sugar

1

Salt

1.75 cups

Water (warm)

1 tbsp

Sesame Oil

Directions:

1

In a small bowl, mix yeast, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup warm water

2

Let stand 5 minutes until foamy

3

In a mixer with a dough hook, mix flour and five spice powder

4

While mixer is running, slowly pour in yeast mixture, oils and the rest of the water; knead on low speed for 8 to 10 minutes

5

Stop mixer when the dough forms a smooth and firm ball

6

Divide dough into 6 balls and place on sheet tray lined with parchment paper

7

Cover with a cloth and place in a warm part of the kitchen; let balls double in size, about 2 hours

8

Working on a floured surface with floured hands, take one ball and spread out with your fingers to about 5 inches in diameter

9

Take a floured rolling pin and roll out to a little less than a 1/4-inch thick

10

The final diameter will be 8 to 10 inches

11

On a low grill, brush on a little canola oil and mark one side

12

Brush oil on the raw side and flip

13

Immediately place toppings (see prep below) and cover with a lid to help retain the heat and assist the cheese melting process

14

Carefully watch the pizza

15

If the grill is too hot, the bottom will burn before the pizza is ready

16

If this occurs, you can place the pizza on a tray and use the broiler of an oven to finish the melting

17

In a saute pan coated with oil, saute black beans and garlic

18

Season with salt and pepper

19

Set aside and when cooled, mix in the mascarpone and parsley

20

Spread mixture on 2 raw pies, top with clams, then cheese

21

Bake on a pizza stone at 425 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown
