Grilled Pizza
Don't heat your oven to 500°F (and your kitchen to
120°F!) when you've got a perfectly good pizza-baker
right outside the back door -- your barbecue grill!
Dough
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon Pizza Dough Flavor
2 tablespoons Lora Brody Dough Relaxer(tm)
2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
Topping
2 tablespoons garlic oil, for topping
1 red pepper, seeded, roasted, skinned and sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 large portabello mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
Combine all of the dough ingredients and mix and
knead them together -- by hand, mixer or bread
machine -- till you've made a soft, smooth dough.
Allow the dough to rest, covered, for 30 minutes.
Place the dough on a lightly greased work surface,
and knead it gently to expel some of the gas. Roll
the dough into a 12-inch circle, and brush it with 2
tablespoons of garlic oil, or spray it with garlic
oil spray. Let it rise while you prepare the
toppings.
Sauté the vegetables until the onions are
translucent and the mushrooms have given up some of
their liquid. Cool slightly, then spread the
vegetables atop the dough. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper to taste, then top with the cheese. Bake the
pizza in your covered grill, set on medium heat, for
15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and
golden. Garnish it with fresh basil leaves, if
desired. Yield: about 8 servings
