1. 1Place the water in a large bowl, and sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top.
2. 2Let sit for 5 minutes.
3. 3Sprinkle over 1/2 cup of flour, and mix with a wooden spoon to form a paste. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes.
4. 4Add the remaining flour and salt. Using a mixer with a dough hook, stir on medium speed for 1 minute.
5. 5Add the lard. Stir on medium speed for 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and stir for 2 more minutes. If the dough is too sticky to form into a ball, add a bit more flour. Form the dough into a ball and place in a plastic bag or plastic container with a lid.
6. 6Pour the olive oil over the dough and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight.
7. 7Remove the dough and bring to room temperature (about 30 minutes). Punch down the dough, and divide into two equal dough balls. Round each piece of dough and let rest, covered for 5 minutes.
8. 8Roll out each ball into a 6 to 8 inch round. Cover and rest the pizza dough while starting on the toppings.
9. 9Add the chanterelles to a hot skillet along with the butter.
10. 10Saute on high heat until the mushrooms soften slightly. Top each pizza with a spread of chanterelles and a few tears of mozzarella.
11. 11(For grill marks on the top, you can grill the untopped pizza on both sides before adding the toppings. Then top, and return to the grill to heat the mozzarella).
12. 12Grill on a hot barbecue (or in a 500F oven with a pizza stone) until the crust bubbles and browns, and the mozzarella softens. Top with the speck, arugula and flaked salt/chile flakes if using.
