Description
Delicious grilled pizza with a crispy crust and your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1¼ cups water (warm (95–110 degrees F))
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup olive oil (to brush on before grilling)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- ½ cup cheese
- ½ cup pepperoni
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast and mix well. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
- Once your yeast has “proofed,” add the salt and 3 cups of flour. Mix on low speed using the dough hook for about 2 minutes. The dough should appear to be a little stringy.
- Add in the rest of the flour, about 1/4 cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Mix on low speed for another 1-2 minutes until the dough is nice and smooth, then transfer to a lightly floured surface.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions and form them into balls. If you want to use any right away, use your hands to pull and spread to a 12-14″ round, then use as needed. Otherwise, wrap each dough ball tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Preheat grill to 350 degrees F.
- Stretch your dough into a 10-12” round, then brush with olive oil. Place the pizza crust, oil side down and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the underside. Brush the top with olive oil and using tongs, flip the pizza.
- Close the grill for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye on the pizza until you get a feel for how hot your grill is cooking.
- Flip the dough over and add a thin layer of sauce, cheese and any toppings that you want. (Note: you’ll want to go light on the cheese because it needs to melt in the time it takes the dough to finish cooking).
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the crust is cooked and the cheese is melted. Turn the heat on the grill down and continue to cook on indirect heat for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and toppings are cooked.
- Remove from the grill and cool on a wire rack for a couple minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Consider using different toppings such as vegetables or different types of cheese.
- Ensure the grill is preheated for best results.
