GRILLED PIZZA DOUGH



Grilled Pizza Dough image

Grilling this dough gives it a flavorful char. To save time, it can be grilled and stored at room temperature overnight. Just top and bake.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 3h55m

Yield Makes six 9-inch pizza crusts

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees)
2 1/4 teaspoons (one 1/4-ounce envelope) active dry yeast
4 1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for surface and hands
Coarse salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for bowl

Steps:

  • Pour water into a large bowl. Sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add 3 cups flour and 2 teaspoons salt, and stir until smooth. Add another 2 cups flour, and stir until smooth. Continue adding flour (up to 1/2 cup), 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring, until dough comes away from sides of bowl but is still sticky.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough with floured hands: Throw it down on surface, pulling it toward you with 1 hand and pushing it away from you withthe other. Fold dough back over itself (use a dough scraper or awide knife to scrape dough from surface), and knead until smooth, elastic, and soft but still a little tacky, about 10 minutes.
  • Shape dough into a ball, and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 3 hours.
  • Heat grill to high. Scrape dough out of bowl onto a lightly floured surface, and cut into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Dust with flour, and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand until dough is almost doubled in volume, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Holding top edge of 1 dough ball in both hands, let bottom edge touch surface (refrigerate remaining balls as you work). Carefully move hands aroundedge to form a circle, as if turning a wheel. Hold dough on back of your hand, letting its weight stretch it into a 12-inch round. Transfer dough to a lightly floured pizza peel (or an inverted baking sheet). Press out edges using your fingers. Lightly jerk peel; if dough sticks, lift, and dust more flour underneath.
  • Heat grill to high. Grill pizza dough, flipping occasionally, until charred and cooked through, about 4 minutes.

GRILLED PIZZETTAS WITH MUSHROOMS, PANCETTA, AND STRACCHINO



Grilled Pizzettas with Mushrooms, Pancetta, and Stracchino image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 pizzettas

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for coating bowl and grill
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch crushed red pepper, optional
1/2 pound pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 1/2 pounds assorted mushrooms, such as shiitake, cremini, oyster, or whatever you like, cleaned and sliced
1 pound stracchino (or another mild creamy cheese, such as ricotta or fromage blanc, at room temperature
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 bunch chives, finely sliced
Aged balsamic for drizzling, optional

Steps:

  • To make the dough:
  • Combine the dry yeast, sugar and WARM not hot tap water in a small bowl. Stir to combine and let sit for about 15 minutes. If the water is too hot it will kill the yeast and if it is too cold the yeast will not activate. When ready the yeast will look bubbly on top and smell very yeasty.
  • Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the olive oil and the yeast mixture. Using a fork, gradually stir the flour into the liquids until combined. Turn the dough out onto a smooth clean work surface and use your hands to knead the dough to a smooth homogeneous consistency. Lightly coat the mixing bowl with olive oil, and return the kneaded dough to the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and put in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and preheat the grill.
  • For the topping:
  • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the smashed garlic cloves, crushed red pepper and pancetta to a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the pancetta slowly until it gets brown and crispy. Once the garlic has become golden brown remove it and discard. Turn the heat up to high and add the mushrooms. Season with salt and saute until the mushrooms are soft and wilted, about 5 minutes. Reserve.
  • Portion the prepared dough into golf ball-size pieces. Dust a work surface with flour and roll each piece of dough into a rectangle (or whatever shape you like, I like irregular shapes). If not using the dough right away, wrap each piece individually in plastic and reserve until ready to use.
  • Brush the preheated grill with oil to remove any crud. Carefully arrange each piece of dough on the grill and grill on both sides until the dough is stiff and crisp and has grill marks on both sides. That little bit of char adds a DELICIOUS flavor!
  • Schmear each piece with stracchino, top with the pancetta/mushroom mixture, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Put the pizza in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chives and drizzle with the aged balsamic, if desired.
  • Mamma mia, what pizza!

GRILLED PIZZETTAS



Grilled Pizzettas image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 individual pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
5 to 6 Fresno chile peppers, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
8 ounces parmigiano-reggiano cheese, shaved with a peeler
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
6 large eggs (optional)
2 cups baby arugula
2 plum tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup pitted gaeta olives, sliced
2 tablespoons capers, drained
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
8 ounces taleggio cheese, chopped
Chopped chives, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Fill a liquid measuring cup or small bowl with 1/2 cup warm (not hot) water. Add the yeast and sugar and stir with a fork; let sit 15 minutes. The top of the water will bubble and it will smell very yeasty-this is what you want!
  • Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the olive oil and the yeast mixture.
  • Using a fork, gradually stir the flour into the yeast mixture until mostly combined, then mix with your hands to bring the dough together. Turn out onto a clean surface.
  • Knead the dough until smooth, dusting with flour as needed. Lightly oil a bowl; add the dough, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Prep the toppings: For prosciutto-arugula pizzas, make the chile oil: Bring the chiles and olive oil to a simmer; remove from the heat and let steep 1 hour. (This makes extra oil; store in a sealed container for up to 1 week.)
  • For puttanesca pizzas, make the topping: Mix the tomatoes, olives, capers and red pepper flakes in a bowl; add salt and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Preheat the grill: Preheat a grill to medium high (you don't want it to be too hot or the crusts will burn before the cheese melts). Brush the grill to remove any crud.
  • Roll out the dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into an irregular oval, dusting with flour as needed.
  • For cracker-thin crusts, use your hands to gently stretch the dough even more.
  • Stack the dough between layers of plastic wrap and head to the grill (or wrap and refrigerate overnight).
  • Grill the crusts: Oil the grill (Anne uses a rolled-up towel and tongs), then carefully add a few pieces of dough.
  • Grill until the top is bubbly and the bottom is marked, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip with tongs and grill until just marked on the other side. Remove from the grill and transfer to baking sheets; repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Add the toppings: Working on the baking sheets, top the crusts with parmigiano and prosciutto, or top with taleggio and the puttanesca mixture; return to the grill. Crack an egg directly onto each prosciutto pizza, if you want. Cover the grill and cook until the cheese melts and the eggs are set, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Finish the pizzas: Remove from the grill and top the prosciutto pizzas with arugula; drizzle with the prepared chile oil. Top the puttanesca pizzas with chives.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pizza Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 pinch white sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
½ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ cup tomato sauce
1 cup chopped tomatoes
¼ cup sliced black olives
¼ cup roasted red peppers
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

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.

Time 28m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 envelope Fleischmann's® Pizza Crust Yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ⅓ cups very warm water (120 degrees to 130 degrees F)*
⅓ cup oil
1 tablespoon Additional flour for rolling
1 teaspoon Additional oil for grilling
½ cup Pizza sauce
Other toppings as desired
1 ounce Shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Start charcoal fire or preheat gas grill to medium-high heat.

⅓ cup (42 g) whole wheat flour
2½ tsp. kosher salt
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl
3 cups (375 g) bread flour, plus more for surface
Burst Cherry Tomatoes
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tsp. dried oregano
Lemony Swiss Chard
1 bunch Swiss chard
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 garlic clove
1 lemon
½ oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about ½ cup)
Tomato Passata
1 (28-oz.) can whole peeled tomatoes
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. kosher salt
Assembly
Bread flour (for dusting)
Extra-virgin olive oil (for brushing and drizzling)
1 1-lb. ball mozzarella, torn into bite-size pieces
8 oz. Manchego cheese, coarsely grated
4 oz. sliced pepperoni and/or thinly sliced soppressata (optional)
Rosemary Agrodolce (optional)
Basil leaves, torn if large, and crushed red pepper flakes (for serving; optional)

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.

GRILLED PIZZA



Grilled Pizza image

Neapolitan-style pizza is typically baked in ovens heated past 900 degrees to achieve its signature crackly, thin, charred crust with a moist, stretchy crumb. But you can easily yield similar textures and flavors at home by baking pizza dough directly on the grates of a hot grill until it's bubbly and crisp. Once the dough is baked, it can be topped and finished via indirect heat. Because grilled pizzas cook mainly from below, the cheese should be layered underneath dollops of hand-crushed tomatoes and toppings to get a good melt.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     pizza and calzones, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield 3 (10-by-12-to-14-inch) pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound store-bought pizza dough (defrosted overnight in the fridge, if frozen)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled plum tomatoes
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound low-moisture block mozzarella (see Tips)
Toppings, as desired (see Tips)
Roughly chopped fresh basil leaves or thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Two to three hours before grilling, transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, divide the dough into three even pieces. Drizzle a teaspoon of neutral cooking oil into three soup bowls. (Each bowl should be able to hold at least twice the volume of the dough pieces.)
  • Working with one piece of dough at a time, shape each into a ball by stretching it and pinching it into a point at the bottom, forming a sort of "skin" that wraps the whole ball. Lightly dust your hands with flour as necessary to prevent excessive sticking. Transfer the ball to one of the oiled bowls and turn it a few times to completely coat the surface in oil, then let it rest seam side down. Repeat Step 2 with remaining dough pieces, then drape a damp kitchen towel over all three bowls. Let the dough balls rest until roughly doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  • Transfer the tomatoes to a fine-mesh strainer set over a large bowl and shake the strainer, allowing the tomatoes to drain thoroughly. Still working in the strainer above the bowl, season well with salt, and, using clean hands, squeeze them through your fingers until a rough purée is formed. (The pieces of tomato should end up ranging from 1/4 inch to roughly 1 inch in size.) Allow any excess liquid to drain (you can save the strainer tomato juice for another use), then transfer the crushed tomatoes to a bowl and set aside.
  • Turn out one ball of dough onto a floured work surface and dust thoroughly with more flour. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 10-inch-by-12-to-14-inch oblong. Dust both sides thoroughly with flour, then transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining two dough balls, stacking them on top of the first with a layer of parchment paper between each.
  • To cook, ignite a full chimney of charcoal. When the coals are mostly covered in gray ash, spread evenly under half of the grill. (If using a gas grill, set half the burners to high, leaving the remaining burners off. Cover, and allow to heat for 10 minutes.)
  • Using your fingers, carefully lift one piece of rolled-out dough from the stack and drape it quickly on the grill grates directly above the fire. Let it cook without moving until the top starts to bubble and the bottom is lightly browned, about 20 to 30 seconds. Continue cooking, using metal tongs and a large spatula or thin metal pizza peel to move and rotate the crust as it cooks, until the bottom is evenly browned all over with a few charred spots, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the crust, and brush the cooked side with a thin layer of olive oil. Continue cooking until the second side is browned, charred and crisp. Flip again (so that the bubblier side faces up), transfer to a clean baking sheet, and brush the second side with olive oil. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 with remaining two pizza skins, stacking the crusts as they finish cooking. (If using coal, the heat may start to dip. Extend cooking time to compensate, or add 15 to 20 fresh coals to the top of the embers and allow them to ignite before continuing.)
  • Working one pizza at a time, transfer the crust to the pizza peel. (A cutting board or the back of a baking sheet will also work.) Spread a thin layer of shredded cheese across the surface of the crust (about 1 cup should do it). Using a spoon, add tablespoon-size dollops of crushed tomatoes, spaced an inch or two apart, across the whole surface of the pizza. Add toppings as desired (see Tips). Slide the pizza onto the cooler side of the grill, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted and the crust is crisp, 1 to 5 minutes total, rotating the pizza occasionally to encourage even melting and crisping. Transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with basil or scallions, cut into squares, and serve immediately. Repeat Step 8 with remaining pizza crusts.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 pizzas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup warm tap water
1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl add the warm (this activates the yeast. If the water is too hot the yeast will die and if the water is too cold the yeast will not activate) tap water add the dry yeast and the sugar and stir to combine. Let sit for 15 minutes. The top of the water will bubble and it will smell very yeasty, this is what you want.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the olive oil and the yeast/water mixture. Using a fork gradually stir the flour into the yeast/water mix. Once most of the flour has combined, turn the dough out to a smooth clean work surface and use your hands to knead the dough to a smooth consistency.
  • Return the dough to the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place for at least 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Portion the dough into golf ball size rounds. Using a rolling pin, roll each dough into a rectangle, I like irregular shapes. If not using the dough right away, wrap each 1 in plastic wrap and reserve until ready to use. If using the dough right away grill each dough on both sides so there are grill marks and the dough is stiff and crisp.
  • Add desired toppings and bake in oven until cheese melts.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality flour: A good quality flour will make a big difference in the texture and flavor of your pizzettas. Look for a flour that is high in protein, such as bread flour or all-purpose flour.
  • Let the dough rise properly: The rising time will allow the yeast to develop and create a light and airy dough. Make sure to let the dough rise in a warm place, such as a turned-off oven with the light on.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pizzettas the best flavor. Look for ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't overload the pizzettas: Too many toppings will make the pizzettas soggy. Stick to a few simple toppings that will complement each other.
  • Cook the pizzettas over high heat: High heat will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the pizzettas from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Grilled pizzettas are a delicious and easy-to-make summer meal. With a few simple ingredients and a hot grill, you can create a meal that everyone will love. So fire up your grill and get started on your next batch of pizzettas!
