Rustic (4 ingredients) Grilled Pizza
Perfecting Pizza Dough Series. I have tried many dough recipes and I find this one to be the easiest and quickest pizza dough recipe.
Equipment
- Kitchen aid stand mixer
- Pizza Stone
Ingredients
For the Dough
- 4 c bread flour or all-purpose flour
- 2 c lukewarm water incorporate to the flour mixture slowly and you may need more or less depending on where you live
- 1 pkg fast-acting yeast
- 1 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste
- 2 tsp sugar optional
Toppings (your choice):
- 2 c fresh mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp pesto (optional)
- 1 c cooked italian sausage (optional)
- 1 c pizza sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil to brush onto the crust
Instructions
- Attach the kneading attachment onto your stand mixer. You can also knead my hand which works just as well.
- Place the flour, yeast, salt, sugar in mixer.
- Slowly add the luke warm water to the mixer while turning the mixer on medium speed.
- Turn your oven to the lowest temperature setting for 10 mins and turn off.
- Place your pizza dough on the lowest rack, covered with a tea cloth or seran wrap
- Prepare your toppings
- After 15 mins. or so, remove the pizza sough and cut up into 2 large pizza or 4 smaller pizzas
- Use your hands to spread the dough out.
- Brush pizza edge with olive oil
- Add your toppings
Cooking:
- Grill or bake. If grilling, use a pizza stone at 350 degrees. (Every grill is a little different but you want to keep an eye on it other wise the bottom of the pizza will burn before the rest of the pizza is finished cooking.)
- If baking, place pizza stone on lowest level, and bake at 450 degrees. Keep and eye on it!
