Pizza on the Barbeque
The Dough

1 Tbsp active dry yeast, diluted in warm water
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 1/2 cups high gluten flour
Fine sea salt

Seems weird but very easy to make and endless in its possibilities. You could buy our frozen dough balls, roll them out and cut mini pizzas out of it if you're in a hurry, but you'll be more satisfied if you make the dough yourself.

Dilute the yeast in the water for about 20 minutes. Sift the flour in a large bowl or onto a dusted board/counter. Make a puddle with the yeasted water, adding the salt and oil, too. Knead dough until it no longer sticks to your hands. In a lightly oiled bowl, place the dough ball and cover with a dish towel for about 90 minutes. The dough will double in size - when it does, punch it down then take it out, cutting it into small pieces. From here, you will make your pizza crusts. Make them any size you want. Smaller (4"-6") is better as they are easier to control on the grill and you can try lots of different topping this way.

Toppings
Anything you want. My favorite ingredients are mushrooms, capers, fontina cheese, prosciutto - whatever you like.

Grilling
Grill the pizza crusts without the toppings for about 2 minutes over a hot flame (you are basically pre-baking the crust). Take them off, top them, then throw them back on for another 3-4 minutes. If you burn the edges, you've succeeded!
