Pizza On The Grill With Sausage And Mozzarella Recipes

PIZZA ON THE GRILL I

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.

PIZZA ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Heat your grill to medium-high.
• Using your hands, spread the pizza dough to form a 1/4-inch thick pizza. Brush one side with olive oil and put it, oil side down, onto the grill. Brush some more oil on the top and close the cover. Cook until the bottom is browned and the top is set, about 5 minutes. Flip the crust over and cook on the other side until browned, about another 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside until your guests arrive.
• Spread some tomato sauce onto the crust and top with mozzarella and your favorite toppings. Put the pizza back on the hot grill, close the cover, and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 5 to 6 minutes.

PIZZA ON THE GRILL W/SAUSAGE & MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• Dough:.
• Combine sugar, yeast and warm water and let sit for around 10 min until it starts to foam.
• Add the salt and oil, mix.
• Add flours and cornmeal and knead/mix until well combined and dough not sticky. You may have to add more flour to get the required texture. I use a Kitchen Aid for the kneading.
• Take out of bowl and knead for a bit on the table. Spray the bowl with cooking spray (or smear some olive oil in the bowl) and sit in a warm place, covered, for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
• Topping:.
• Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
• Pizza:.
• Divide the dough into the number of pizzas you wish to make. Roll out the dough as thin as possible. Prick the dough in a few places with a fork to prevent the dough from bubbling up when cooking.
• Heat grill to medium (be careful not to have grill too hot or dough will burn) and place rolled out pizza dough directly on the grill. Let it cook for 1 min and flip and let the other side cook. The pizza should look sligthly browned.
• Remove add the topping mixture and spread on top of pizza.
• Cook on grill at LOW until cheese melts - again be careful to not have the grill too hot.
• Serve immediately.
