Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together water, yeast, sugar and 1 cup of flour until evenly combined. Set aside in a warm environment for 10-15 minutes until mixture begins to look bubbly on top. Mix in 1/2 cup of olive oil and salt, then knead in flour 1 cup at a time. Cover bowl, and allow dough to rise in a warm spot for 1 hour. After dough has risen, punch down and transfer to a lightly floured surface. Divide into 24 (4 1/2 oz.) pieces and shape into balls. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes, then, using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin 7-inch disc. Preheat grill on high heat. Brush each disc with remaining olive oil, then slide onto grill (oil side down). Cook for 3-4 minutes over high heat, then transfer to a clean cutting board or plate with the cooked side facing up. Top each pizzetta crust with 1/2 cup of roasted peppers, 2 ounces of mozzarella and 1/3 cup of California Ripe Olives. Slide onto grill, cover and cook over medium-high heat for 4 minutes until dough is crisp and cheese is melted. Remove to a clean cutting board, sprinkle with arugula and cut into quarters.
