Grilled Pizza Dough Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 2 1/2 tsp dry active yeast
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 tbsp olive oil - for in the dough
• 2 tsp sea salt
• 2 tbsp cornmeal
• 3 1/2 cups flour - separated into 2 cups whole wheat white and 1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour

 

• 2 tbsp olive oil- to brush over the dough before grilling
• 1 tbsp parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• Mix these 3 ingredients prior to grilling the dough

 

Instructions

1. Stir together warm water, yeast and sugar in mixer bowl.
2. Cover and allow the yeast to become foamy for about 5 minutes.
3. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, cornmeal and flour.
4. Knead for 3-5 minutes with mixer.
5. Put 2 tbsp olive oil into the bottom of a glass bowl and use some of it to oil the sides.
6. Add dough to the bowl and then turn dough so that all sides are covered with oil.
7. Cover bowl and let the dough rise for 20 minutes (longer if you have enough time).
8. Heat grill to medium high heat.  Spread out dough onto a piece of wax paper and brush with the olive oil, parmesan cheese and garlic mixture.  Place the oil side down directly on the grill grates.  It will cook literally for 3-5 minutes and should come up from the grill when ready to flip.  Before flipping brush the top with oil mixture.  When you flip, reduce heat to low or turn off grill.  Add toppings.  This side will take only 3-5 minutes again or until toppings are melted/cooked.

 

I used sauce banana peppers, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, grilled sweet orange and red peppers for my toppings.  Use whatever toppings you like and don't be afraid to experiment.
