Ingredients

For the dough:

  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 1 cup wholemeal
  • ¼ cup warm tap water
  • 1 teaspoon dried yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt or sea salt

For the toppings:

  • 2 medium size eggplants
  • 1 cup good quality Mozzarella cheese
  • The seeds from one small pomegranate
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1 handful fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill.
  • Prepare the pizza dough. Mix yeast, sugar and warm water and let rest for 5 minutes to activate. Place the flours in the food processor, pour over the yeast mixture, olive oil and salt, and process to obtain an elastic, smooth dough. If time allows, knead the dough on a well floured surface. Transfer the dough into an olive oil-greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 30 minutes, in an warm place, until it doubles its size.
  • Wash the eggplants in plenty of water, drain well and cut in thin rounds. Place the slices in a bowl, add sea salt and ½ tablespoon olive oil, and toss to combine. Grill the slices 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and let rest in a bowl
  • When the dough is ready, roll it with a rolling pin on a floured surface, brush with olive oil on the side that will cook first, then grill it for 3-4 minutes, just to get beautiful grilling marks on, but not completely cook. Flip it over, and be quick by spreading the tomato sauce, then top with Mozzarella cheese, grilled eggplant rounds and crushed garlic clove. Grill for 3 more minutes until the Mozzarella melts.
  • Top with pomegranate seeds and mint leaves, add a drizzle olive oil and freshly ground black pepper and serve right away.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can skip the Mozzarella, and go with Feta cheese only – the taste is also fantastic.
