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.
  • 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.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (1/4 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
2/3 cup water (110-115 degrees)
2 -3 cups flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing and kneading
1/2 teaspoon sugar, for the topping
cheese, any that you like
1 cup alfredo sauce (or any sauce that you like, it's up to you!) or 1 cup garlic, sauce (or any sauce that you like, it's up to you!)

Steps:

  • For the dough: in a medium bowl, combine the yeast sugar and water.
  • Whisk until all the yeast is melted.
  • Let stand for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add two cups of the flour, salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil.
  • Stir with your hands until the dough holds together.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled surface (use oil not flour as it lends a crunchier crust). Knead until the dough is smooth about 8-10 minutes.
  • Shape into a ball and let stand in an oiled bowl covered in a warm place for about an hour or until the dough doubles in size.
  • Punch down the dough and transfer again to a lightly oiled surface.
  • Divide the dough into to equal pieces.
  • Stretch the dough with your hands until the dough is about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Slide the dough to a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  • Slide the dough onto the grill and cook uncovered directly over a medium heat until the grill marks are clearly visible.
  • Brush the dough with olive oil.
  • The crust may bubble but that is ok as it will deflate as you turn it.
  • Turn the dough and brush again with olive oil.
  • Top first with your cheese choice as the cheese will melt evenly being put on first.
  • Next add you sauce and then toppings.
  • Grill for about 5 minutes more or until cheese is melted.
  • It is best after you add the toppings to close the grill and view every three minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • I did not specify a quantity for the cheese as everyone likes different amounts of cheese.
  • Let the pizza rest a few minutes before cutting it.
  • I added minced garlic to my olive oil for brushing.

½ cup tomato sauce
½ cup mozzarella cheese

Yield Makes four 12" pies

Number Of Ingredients 33

Dough
1 ¼-oz. envelope active dry yeast (about 2¼ tsp.)
1 tsp. sugar
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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right dough: Use a dough that is specifically made for grilling. It should be thin and crispy, with a high gluten content. Avoid using dough that is too thick or dense, as it will not cook evenly on the grill.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to a high heat before cooking the pizza. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: A pizza stone or baking sheet will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pizza from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the pizza quickly: Grilled pizza cooks very quickly, so keep a close eye on it. Cook it for just a few minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher and higher quality the ingredients you use, the better your pizza will taste. Use fresh mozzarella cheese, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful herbs.
  • Be creative with your toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for grilled pizza. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and combinations. Some popular topping ideas include grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

Grilled pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can make the best-tasting grilled pizza that your family and friends will love. So fire up your grill and get started!
