Enjoy this tasty recipe from Amy's at Woodhaven.
Serves 6 - 8 personal pizzas
The Dough:
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pizza Sauce or Rothschild Farms Hummus or Roasted Red Pepper & Onion Dip
Toppings as desired
1. Combine water, sugar and yeast in a mixing
bowl and stir until yeast dissolves. Let rest for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the olive oil and one cup of flour.
When blended, stir in the salt and a second cup of flour. Sprinkle flour
over a work surface and on your hands, then knead the dough, adding the last
cup of flour, until it no longer feels sticky and can be shaped into a ball.
3. Lightly oil a large bowl, then rotate the ball of dough in the bowl to
coat it. Cover the bowl with a towel and set in a warm place until the dough
doubles (about 1 hour). Punch the dough down and knead it for one minute.
Divide the dough into 4-6 pieces. Lightly oil two large baking sheets. Roll
out each ball of dough into a circle and place it on the baking sheet. Cover
the dough and let rest for about 20-30 minutes.
4. Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium heat. If using a charcoal grill,
move the coals to one side once they have turned white. You’ll want to place
the pizzas on the side away from the coals in the case of a charcoal grill.
Using your hands, lift circles of dough and place directly onto the grill.
They’ll stretch into weird shapes and that’s ok. Cook on one side for a
couple of minutes. When the bottom starts to brown, flip the dough with a
spatula. Spread the sauce on top, then any toppings, then cheese. You have
to work quickly here. Cover the grill and cook the pizza for 3-5 minutes,
until the cheese melts and the bottom of the pizza is nicely browned.
Pizza Sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 cup plum tomatoes, chopped
6 ounces tomato paste
1 T. dried oregano
¼ t. freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Slowly sauté onion and garlic in the olive
oil until translucent, but not browned. Add remaining ingredients and bring
to a quick boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Let cool
slightly before using or refrigerate for later.
