Steps:
- Start charcoal fire or preheat gas grill to medium-high heat.
- Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic but not sticky, about 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into 8 portions. Pat or roll dough on a well-floured counter to about 8-inch circles; they do not need to be perfect.
- Brush both sides of crust with additional oil. Using hands, lift each crust carefully and place on grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bottom is lightly browned and top looks set. Using long handled tongs, remove crust from grill, grilled side up, to a platter or baking sheet.
- Lightly add sauce and top the grilled side of each pizza crust. Excess sauce or toppings makes the pizza hard to handle. Repeat with remaining pizzas.
- Carefully slide each pizza onto the grill. Cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes until bottom of crust is browned and cheese is melted. Remove from grill and serve immediately.

GRILLED PIZZA (USING GRILLING PIZZA PAN)
I recently made my first grilled pizza and was surprised to find that there were no detailed directions on Recipezaar on how to grill using a pizza pan. The bottom will be the first to brown, so watch the pizza carefully as each grill is different. UPDATE: Recently purchased the most innovative pizza grill pan which has a shield that is preheated before placing the pizza on top . . . it's MUST have. See photo to the left!

PIZZA ON THE GRILL I
Even with a baking stone, a conventional oven is no match for a professional oven when it comes to making pizza. At home, or rather in your backyard, the grill is the way to go. The heat of a hot grill is perfect, and makes it possible to make incredible pizza at home. Use your favorite toppings, but keep in mind not to overload the pizza. Keep it light. Try it - everything is better on the grill!

Steps:
- In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, and mix in sugar. Proof for ten minutes, or until frothy. Mix in the salt, olive oil, and flour until dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 8 minutes. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Set aside to rise until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch down, and knead in garlic and basil. Set aside to rise for 1 more hour, or until doubled again.
- Preheat grill for high heat. Heat olive oil with garlic for 30 seconds in the microwave. Set aside. Punch down dough, and divide in half. Form each half into an oblong shape 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick.
- Brush grill grate with garlic flavored olive oil. Carefully place one piece of dough on hot grill. The dough will begin to puff almost immediately. When the bottom crust has lightly browned, turn the dough over using two spatulas. Working quickly, brush oil over crust, and then brush with 2 tablespoons tomato sauce. Arrange 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/8 cup sliced black olives, and 1/8 cup roasted red peppers over crust. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese and 2 tablespoons basil. Close the lid, and cook until the cheese melts. Remove from grill, and set aside to cool for a few minutes while you prepare the second pizza.

Steps:
- Dough
- Stir yeast, sugar, and 1¼ cups warm (not hot) water in the bowl of a stand mixer until yeast dissolves. Let sit until mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add whole wheat flour, salt, and 2 Tbsp. oil to yeast mixture and mix to combine. Fit mixer with dough hook and, with mixer on low speed, gradually add 3 cups (375 g) bread flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms, about 4 minutes from when you start adding the flour. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl to incorporate any dry bits into dough. Increase mixer speed to medium and knead until dough is smooth and shiny, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly to bring together. Shape into a ball, place in a large lightly oiled bowl, and turn to coat. Cover bowl and let dough sit in warm draft-free spot until doubled in size, 1-1½ hours. Make your toppings while your dough is rising.
- Burst Cherry Tomatoes
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until skins start to blister and split, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and toss to coat. Cook, lightly pressing on tomatoes with spoon to release juices without smashing completely, until garlic is softened, about 2 minutes. Mix oregano into sauce; taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Do ahead: Sauce can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool, then cover and chill. Bring to room temperature and stir to combine before using.
- Lemony Swiss Chard
- Cut Swiss chard leaves away from ribs and stems, then cut crosswise into 3"-wide strips. Trim away woody part from stems; discard. Finely chop ribs and stems.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add ribs and stems and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they release some liquid, look slightly shriveled, and are a shade or two darker, about 5 minutes. Add leaves and red pepper flakes and toss to coat. Season with more salt and black pepper and reduce heat to medium. Cook, tossing occasionally, until leaves are bright green, wilted, and tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer chard mixture to a medium bowl and let cool slightly.
- Finely grate garlic into bowl with chard mixture, then finely grate in zest from lemon; mix well. Add Parmesan and mix again to combine. Taste and season with more salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if needed.
- Do ahead: Chard mixture can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool, then cover and chill. Bring to room temperature and stir to combine before using.
- Tomato Passata
- Purée tomatoes in a blender on low speed (or use an immersion blender if you have one) until smooth (try not to aerate it too much). Transfer sauce to a medium bowl and stir in oil and salt.
- Do ahead: Passata can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 6 months.
- Assembly
- Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Clean grate. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 pieces. Working one at a time, gently shape into balls. Transfer to a lightly floured small rimmed baking sheet and cover. Let sit 20-30 minutes.
- Place a ball of dough on a lightly floured surface (keep remaining balls covered) and, using your fingers, press out to an 8" round. Drape dough over the backs of your hands and gently pull and stretch, rotating dough as you go, until about 12" in diameter (it's okay if it's not a perfect circle).
- Brush dough with oil. Place, oiled side down, on grill over direct heat and cook until large bubbles appear across surface, dough stiffens, and underside is dark brown, about 2 minutes. Brush top with oil, turn over, and cook just to lightly dry out second side, about 30 seconds.
- Using tongs and a metal spatula, move dough over to cooler side of grill. Top with a spoonful of passata or burst cherry tomatoes and one quarter of cheese (either alone or in combination). Add pepperoni or salami (if using), then some of the lemony Swiss chard, and/or Rosemary Agrodolce as desired. Carefully slide pizza back over direct heat. Cook until cheese is melted and toppings are heated through, about 2 minutes. If dough is in danger of burning on underside but toppings need more time, return pizza to cooler side, cover grill, and cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer pizza to a cutting board and drizzle with more oil. Top with basil and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 3 more pizzas.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey and yeast. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to proof the yeast. It should be foamy.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, olive oil and the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand until a soft smooth dough forms, about 5 to 8 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and place inside a lightly greased large bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and a damp kitchen towel and allow to rest until doubled in size, for 2 hours.
- Once done, gently punch the dough down and then transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Cut into three even pieces and form into balls. Keep them covered with a kitchen towel.
- Working with one at a time, roll out into a rectangle or a circle. Brush the surface evenly with olive oil.
- Preheat a large stovetop grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the pizza dough onto the grill, oil side down. Then brush the top side with oil as well. Cook until the dough begins to puff up slightly and grill marks form, about 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully flip over and continue to grill on the second side for about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and then continue grilling the rest of the pizza dough.
- Spread the grilled pizza dough with nutella while still warm to melt it slightly. Then top with sliced bananas and chopped hazelnuts. Slice and serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the grill on high for 5-10 minutes.
- Coat the pizza dough with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Using your hands, rub the oil onto the outside of the dough while carefully stretching it into a circle 12-14 inches (30-35 cm) in diameter. Place the oiled pizza dough onto the preheated grill and quickly brush the top with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Close the grill and allow pizza dough to cook for 3-4 minutes.
- After 4 minutes, check the pizza. Large bubbles should be forming across the top of the dough. Using a large spatula or set of tongs, flip the dough over. Reduce the heat to low and add the sauce, cheese, and basil to the pizza. Increase the heat back to high and close the grill. Cook the pizza for 5-6 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the crust is lightly charred.
- Cook the pizza for 5-6 minutes more, until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the crust is lightly charred.
- Enjoy!

Tips for Making Grilled Pizza Using a Grilling Pizza Pan:
- Choose the right dough: Use a high-quality pizza dough that is specifically designed for grilling. This type of dough will be more durable and less likely to stick to the grill.
- Preheat the grilling pizza pan: Preheat the pan over medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes before adding the pizza. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Use a light touch: When placing the pizza on the grill, use a light touch to avoid sticking. You can also use a pizza peel to help you transfer the pizza to and from the grill.
- Cook the pizza quickly: Pizza cooks quickly on the grill, so keep a close eye on it to prevent burning. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pizza and the heat of the grill.
- Use fresh, high-quality toppings: The toppings are what really make a pizza special. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to create a delicious and flavorful pizza.
Conclusion:
Using a grilling pizza pan is a great way to make delicious and authentic pizza at home. By following these tips, you can create a pizza that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with perfectly melted cheese and flavorful toppings. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some delicious grilled pizza!
