I made this for dinner last night and it was very yummy. My DH loved it! This was my first time making homemmade pizza dough. It really wasn't hard and was actually quite fun to do. I actually had to let the odugh rise on top of my dryer, as it was the warmest place! It wasn't rising in my kitchen. You can use your favorite homemade pizza dough to make grilled pizza. This is the recipe I used.
Quick and Easy Pizza Crust
2 C bread or all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1 package quick-rise yeast
3/4 C. warm water (120-130 degrees)
1 Tbsp olive oil
Vegetable cooking spray
2 Tbsp cornmeal
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Combine water and oil; add to flour mixture. Stir until mixture forms a ball. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).
Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 45 minutes, or until double in bulk. Punch dough down, divide dough in half, cover, and let rest 10 minutes.
Roll out each half of the dough, placing on a cookie sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
Refrigerate the dough 10-15 minutes, as it makes it a lot easier to handle.
Heat the grill, and set it to its lowest setting. Place the rolled out dough on the grill, close top and time it for 3 minutes, until puffy and golden. You really have to stay right there and keep an eye on it. Take the dough off the grill (grill mark side up) onto a large cutting board or cookie sheet. Brush with olive oil, then put your favorite toppings on. I used Mozzarella, Parmesan, sausage, prosciutto bacon, and fresh basil. Then slide the pizzas back onto the grill for 3 minutes more to cook the underneath side. Do not cook more than 3 minutes, without careful observation, as the crust will burn.
It is important to not have lots of toppings on the pizza. Just fresh ingredients and a little cheese. I put much less of the toppings on than I would with a normal pizza.
