Grilled Pizza Dough
As unorthodox as it may sound, grilling pizza is so much fun. Just like deep frying a pizza. The best part is you can do it on a stovetop griddle if you do not have a grill oven in your backyard. Yes, those criss-cross charred marks do matter. If not, it wouldn't be "grilled pizza" right?
I do not own a grill oven as I am residing in a small apartment. I am using just a griddle on a stovetop, but I hope I can replicate as close as possible to perfection. Yes. Grilled pizza has been perfected by George Germon of Al Forno in Providence, Rhode Island. If you would like to know more about in-depth techniques for grilling pizza on a grill oven, I would suggest getting an actual cookbook. BTW, sorry to offend any Italians, but I find that sesame oil is far more superior to olive oil. It adds that smokey umami. So, without much further delay, let's get on with the dough.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, add in flour, sugar and salt.
Mix to combine well. Mix, mix, mix.
Add in yeast and mix to combine well.
Create a well in the center.
Gradually, pour in the water and oil while still mixing with your other hand or spatula.
Combine the mixture well until it becomes a dough. You can do this by hand or a spatula.
- 2
Once it becomes a dough, knead the dough inside the bowl until all the nooks and crannies of flour is kneaded into the dough, about 8 to 10 minutes.
The dough should be smooth and tacky, but not sticky. It should pass the "window-pane" test.
If the dough is too dry, add in water, 1 TBSP at a time. If the dough is too sticky, add in flour, 1 TBSP at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions using a weight scale.
Roll each portion into balls.

Lightly grease the dough balls with sesame oil.
Transfer the dough balls into each individual zip lock bag and seal or wrap in cling film.
Let sit at room temperature for 30 mins.
After 30 mins, place the dough in the fridge.
Let the dough ferment in the fridge overnight.

You can keep the dough balls in the fridge for up to 3 days or 3 months in the freezer.*
On pizza grilling day, take the dough out from the fridge and let sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours for shaping and grilling.
*If you intend to freeze the dough, thaw the dough in the fridge overnight and let the dough sit at room temperature at least 2 hours before shaping and grilling.*

The distinctive shape of grilled pizza is its oblong oval shape.
To achieve that shape, place a dough ball onto a lightly floured surface.
Press the ball down with your palm.
Using a rolling pin and roll into an oblong oval shape to about 1/8 inch thick.
Lightly poke all over the dough with a fork. Poke, poke, poke.
Brush the dough with oil.

On a griddle over medium heat, gently place the shaped dough, oiled side down onto the griddle.
Brush the top side of the dough with oil.
As soon as the bottom starts to charred, flip the pizza.
Add whichever toppings as desire.
Cover to generate steam for the cheeses to melt.
Carefully remove from heat and serve immediately.

TIPS:The dough can be frozen. Remove it from the freezer 2 hours before. Put plenty of flour on the work area when rolling out the dough because it is wet.You can put seeds in the flour (such as pipes, poppy seeds…).Some ingredients can let out a lot of water (such as courgette) and the dough can be soft. Cook the ingredient first and drain it a bit.

This is the result of massive amounts of research and time and taste testing. A pizza dough that can handle high heat (600°+) that a Kamado-Style grill can produce. This dough is relatively quick, tasty and looks good as well.Notes: prepare pizza and immediately place in grill for less puffy crust. Also, turn pizza with peel a quarter turn every few minutes to cook evenly.This crust will bubble and "leopard" on high heat.

Easy Pizza Dough Easy Pizza Dough
I don't like pizza crust that's too soft and fluffy like bread. So I thought in that case, I don't really need to bother too much about kneading and rising times. I tried out my theory, and the result was a crunchy, nutty crust that had just the right softness and was delicious, so I made it into a recipe!In the summer, just leave the dough to rise at room temperature, and it will do so while you are preparing the toppings. In the winter, use your oven's bread-rising setting or put the dough in a warm location for 10-15 minutes, which is enough. This crust is not puffy like bread, so you only need to leave it to rise for a short time. Recipe by Lesser Panda -

I think that kneading flour into dough is the ultimate Slow Food. When I'm leisurely kneading dough on a day off while listening to music, all my daily stress just disappears. The dough will become more delicious too.The most important thing is to knead the dough thoroughly. Please knead it well for 20 to 30 minutes while listening to music. Just be careful not to knead your iPod into the dough! The other key is to rest the dough in the refrigerator. It will become very easy to flatten out. Recipe by Koba -
