1 (.25 ounce) pkg active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 pinch white sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 1/3 cups flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
½ cup olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
½ cup pizza sauce (homemade or store bought)
Toppings:
1 cup chopped tomatoes
¼ cup sliced black olives
¼ cup roasted red peppers
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
4 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
Or whatever topping you want
In a bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes or until frothy. Mix in salt, olive oil, and flour until dough pulls away form the sides of the bowl. Turn ontl a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 8 minutes. Place dough in a well oiled bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch down and knead in garlic and basil. Let rise for 1 more hour, or until doubled.
Preheat grill for med-high heat. Heat olive oil with garlic for 30 seconds in microwave. Set aside. Punch down dough and divide in half.
Form each half into an oblong shape 3/8 to ½ inch thick. Brush grate with garlic flavored olive oil. Carefully place dough on hot grill and close lid. The dough will begin to puff almost immediately, only needs a few minutes. When the bottom crust has lightly browned turn over and remove from grill. Pour sauce, cheese and selected toppings over the already cooked side. Place back on the grill and close the lid, cook until the cheese melts. Works best if the sauce and toppings are heated before hand ie grill or saute onions, tomatoes, peppers.
