directions
-
Pizza dough:
- Combine water, sugar, and yeast. Proof until mixture turns foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Mix flours and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add oil to proofed yeast mixture; then pour into flour mixture. Knead dough on low speed 10 minutes. (If kneading by hand, knead dough the same amount of time.).
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning dough to coat surface. Cover dough with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
- Punch dough down and divide it into four balls, pinching the bottoms closed. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place another hour.
-
Oven-Roasted Tomato Sauce:
- Preheat oven to 450°F
- Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic cloves, salt, pepper flakes, and sugar in a large casserole dish.
- Toss tomato mixture with olive oil; roast 35-40 minutes until tomatoes have softened. Remove from oven and mash with a potato masher, keeping tomatoes a bit chunky.
- Stir in basil.
-
Grilling pizza (have toppings ready to go):
- Preheat one side of grill to medium-high, the other side to low. Place dough over hot side, close lid, and cook 2-3 minutes. The crust will bubble and grill marks will appear underneath.
- Use tongs to flip over crust and move it to the cool side of grill. Brush crust with olive oil.
- Add toppings. Keep quantities light so they cook quickly. Return pizza to hot side of grill for 4-5 minutes.
- Pizza is done when cheese is melted. Remove pizza from the grill using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet.
