Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar and olive oil. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and process until a ball of dough forms. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with a baking stone inside.
For the vinaigrette, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.
On a lightly floured work surface, split the dough into two balls. Roll the dough into 10-inch diameter circles.
Transfer the dough to the baking stone. Brush with olive oil. Bake for 7 minutes. Sprinkle the crust with coarsely grated Parmesan and pepper. Continue baking for 3 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Let the crust cool.
In a large bowl, toss the mixed greens with cherry tomatoes and chives. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette.
Top the pizzas with salad and finish with shaved Parmesan.
