So I have always wanted to try this, but I was always chicken. I have tried some less risky versions of this and they turned out fine, but this is the real deal. I was extremely nervous about throwing dough right on my grill with no pan underneath, but it turned out great. Since it was a first attempt we did a basic pepperoni pizza. Next time time I will try something a little more exotic. so here is the recipe for the dough and the sauce. The toppings are up to you.
Ingredients:
Dough:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 TB yeast
1 TB sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups warm water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Sauce
1 8oz can of tomato sauce (you can use tomato paste if you prefer a thicker sauce)
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 clove of crushed garlic
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
salt to taste
Directions:
Heat grill to med-high. Mix together 2 cups of flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water and oil; mix adding the remaining flour until dough is soft, but not sticky. Divide into 8 pieces and roll each portion out to 1/8-1/4 thickness. The shape is not important! Brush oil on both sides and place the dough directly on the grill. Cook 4-6 minutes and using tongs flip the pizza crust over. Now add sauce and toppings to top of pizza. Cook with the lid down for another 4-6 minutes or until the cheese melts. Enjoy.
Notes:
Don't overload the topping on this kind of pizza. It will make it difficult to handle as well as make the topping harder to cook. This recipe will give you a crispy almost fire brick oven crust so don't be afraid to char the crust slightly
