Grilled Pizza

Thanks to Ricky's cousin Heidi at tastysensations.blogspot.com we made this aweseme grilled pizza dough. You have to try it!




This pizza crust recipe is GREAT for grilling, but is just fine for oven pizzas too. Yields 6 individual crusts.

DOUGH:
1 1/2 cups very warm water
1 TBS sugar
1.5 TBS yeast
1 tsp salt
3 TBS olive oil
3 C. all-purpose flour
1 C. whole wheat flour

Mix yeast, sugar and warm water. Let sit until frothy (about 10 minutes). Add salt, oil and 1 c. whole wheat flour. Mix well. Let rest for 10 minutes. Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until it pulls from the side of your mixer (or if mixing by hand, until well incorporated). Knead for 8 minutes. Dough should become elastic.

Place in greased bowl and cover with a warm, damp cloth. Let rise until double in size. Meanwhile, flour a clean countertop and prepare your pizza toppings, cheese, and sauce in separate bowls so they are ready to go. Divide dough into 6 ball-sized portions (do not stretch out to pizza crust yet). Let sit for 15-20 minutes on floured surface. Preheat grill tto medium-high. Coat dough balls with flour, and with floured hands, stretch out crust - about 6-8 inches, depending on how you think you like it. Place it on well-oiled grill grates and grill one side for about 2 minutes. Flip. Add sauce, cheese and toppings. Close grill cover and cook for about 2 more minutes or until cheese is melted.
