Instructions
3 steps
- 1
Roll out the raw pizza dough. Mince some garlic and toss in the olive oil. Brush the oil on both sides of dough. Grill the dough on each side for a few minutes until grill marks form and the dough is cooked through (time will depend on how thick your dough is). Set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, prepare the almond spread, if using: Combine the almonds, garlic, salt, lemon juice and zest, ½ cup water, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a blender and blend until smooth, adding more water and olive oil to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.
