GRILLED PIZZAS

Steps:

• Combine the water and yeast in a mixing bowl and stir until the yeast dissolves. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 cup of the flour. Stir in a second cup of flour and the salt. Sprinkle some of the remaining flour over a work surface and on your hands. Scrape the dough out of the bowl and onto the work surface. Gradually knead in additional flour until the dough no longer feels sticky.
• Lightly oil a large bowl. Shape the dough into a ball and rotate it in the bowl to coat it with the oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch the dough down and knead it for about 1 minute. Return the dough to the bowl and let rise until doubled again, about 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, about 30 minutes into the second rise, start a charcoal fire. When the dough has doubled, punch it down and divide into 4 equal pieces. (At this point, the dough can be rolled into 4 balls and frozen. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator prior to use.) Lightly oil the backs of 2 large baking sheets. Roll out each piece of dough into a 9-inch circle (pizzas don't have to be perfectly round) and place them on the baking sheets. Cover with plastic wrap.
• When the coals turn white, place 1 or 2 of the pieces of pizza dough on the grill (depending on its size) and cook for 1 minute; they will start to puff. Turn the crusts over with a spatula and grill until browned and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes longer. Watch constantly to keep crusts from burning. Repeat with the remaining dough. Immediately top the pizzas and serve.
