No cook pizza sauce:
Tomato puree 48 ounces
Garlic powder 1/2 tablespoon
Onion powder 1/2 tablespoon
Salt 1/2 tablespoon
Back Pepper 1/2 teaspoon
Basil dried 1 Tablespoon
Oregano dried 1 Tablespoon
Olive oil 1/4 cup
water 1 cup
Combine ingredients allow flavors to develop overnight. Adjust thickness with water
Pizza Dough
water 1 qt
yeast 1 1/2 ounce
salt 1 ounce
sugar 1 ounce
olive oil 1 1/4 oz
flour 3 pounds
Straight dough method which means add your yeast to your water....then add your flour, then add your enemies of yeast...salt, sugar, olive oil. Mix in a stand mixer for 2 minutes on low speed, then mix for 8 minutes on medium speed.
Let rest about 1 hour.
Gather any toppings your friends and family would like such as onions, green peppers, red peppers, mushrooms, olives, ham, pineapple, pepperoni, you get the picture...then a lot of shredded cheese!
Roll the dough about 5 ounces each into a 8 inch circle, make sure your outside grill is hot, I use a Weber grill...heat that baby up then turn it down to medium... make sure that the grates are well greased...I like to do this before I heat it up... put the rolled out dough on the grill...it won't take long I promise, then flip it over....put on the sauce, add your favorite pizza ingredients, add your cheese... pop the lid down for a few minutes...lift it back up...and oh my gosh...how fun is pizza on the grill??? Enjoy one of my favorite things....
You can use whole wheat flour to make your dough too if you like..it is a little tougher...but better for you...
