How to Make The Best Tasting Grilled Pizza

  1. **Make the Dough:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 cup of warm water (105-115°F).
  2. Whisk until the yeast is completely dissolved. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. Stir with your hands until the dough comes together.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  7. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
  8. Divide the dough in half.
  9. Stretch each piece of dough into a 1/8-inch thick circle (about 12 inches in diameter).
  10. Lightly oil your grill grates to prevent sticking. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  11. Carefully place one pizza dough on the hot grill. Cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear. The crust may bubble; this is normal.
  12. Brush the cooked dough with olive oil infused with minced garlic (about 1 tablespoon olive oil per pizza).
  13. Sprinkle generously with your choice of cheese (amount to your liking).
  14. Add your pizza sauce and desired toppings.
  15. Close the grill lid and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Check and rotate every 3 minutes to prevent burning.
  16. Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
