MY TIP:

Hollandaise sauce is a great alternative to the classic tomato sauce on your pizza. If you don't have time to make the sauce yourself, you can also use a store-bought one.

Preparation in 8 steps

1

For the Hollandaise sauce: Crush peppercorns with the side of a knife blade. In a saucepan on the side burner of the gas grill, bring pepper, water, and white wine vinegar to a boil without a lid over high heat and reduce to one-third. Set aside.

2

Reduce the side hob to medium heat. Dice the butter and melt it in a second pot over medium heat. Transfer the butter to a measuring cup. Pour it very slowly so that the separated buttermilk remains in the pot. Set aside.

3

Prepare a small pot with about 300 ml of water for a water bath on the side hotplate. Heat the water to 75 to 80 °C. Strain the pepper reduction from step 1 through a fine sieve into a bowl. Add egg yolks. Place the bowl in the pot of hot water so that the bowl touches the water. Whisk the contents of the bowl for about 5 minutes with a whisk until a thick and frothy mixture forms.

4

Remove the bowl from the pot. While stirring, add the butter to the egg yolk mixture. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon and add it to the Hollandaise sauce along with cayenne pepper. Season with salt.

5

Preheat gas grill, oven, or pizza oven with pizza stone to maximum direct heat.

6

For the pizza: Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll out on a floured work surface. Dust the undersides with flour and place the dough balls on a floured pizza peel. Cut the olives into fine rings.

7

Spread 1/4 of the hollandaise sauce on the dough with a spoon from the inside out. Leave about 2 cm of edge. Sprinkle with mozzarella, distribute olives on the pizza, and season with salt and pepper. Bake the pizza in a gas grill (about 5 minutes), oven (about 8 minutes), or pizza oven (about 3 minutes) until the cheese is melted and the crust is brown.

8

Wash spring onions, shake dry, and cut into rings diagonally. Top the pizza with pastrami and spring onions after baking.
