Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • Pinch of salt administered salt bae style, preferably

Instructions

  1. Add warm water to a large bowl and dissolve yeast and salt
  2. Add and mix olive oil
  3. Add the flour last and knead by hand for about 5 minutes, or mix in KitchenAid until consistent
  4. Cover with a towel and let rise for 30-40 minutes in a lightly warmed oven.

Recipe Notes

  • Brush tomato sauce onto the entire crust, not just where toppings go. This tastes delicious and prevents the crust from getting too dry in the BBQ
  • Use wood chips in the BBQ for a smoky flavor
  • Mix in dried herbs like oregano, thyme, or roasted garlic with your dough for an added flavor
  • I find with BBQ pizza, less is more. Experiment with different flavour combos, like:
    • thinly sliced apples and goat cheese!
    • feta and spinach
    • margarita (tomato, mozzarella, basil)

If your BBQ doesn’t have a working thermometer, you can use an oven thermometer. Our Broil King works spot on. My husband would probably agree this was the best birthday gift I’ve ever given him.
