Grilled Sourdough Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup warm water into a medium bowl; add sugar and sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, 5 minutes.
• Whisk oil and 1 teaspoon salt into yeast mixture. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until liquid is incorporated (dough will appear dry). Turn out onto a floured work surface. Knead until dough comes together in an elastic ball, 2 minutes. Transfer to an oiled medium bowl; brush lightly with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; set in a warm, draft-free place until dough has doubled in bulk, 45 minutes. Punch down dough and cover; let rise another 30 minutes.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Let rest 15 minutes before using.

Steps:

• Blend together the dry ingredients in mixing bowl.
• Pour in sourdough starter and olive oil and start machine; adding additional water and flour as needed.
• Knead for approximately 6-8 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.
• Remove from bowl and form into 1 ball if baking pizza or 2 balls if grilling.
• Place dough in bowl(s) that have been sprayed with non-stick, turning once to coat the top.
• Loosely cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours (depending on your starter and the temperature of your kitchen).
• DO NOT PUNCH DOWN DOUGH.
• Dredge hands in flour and remove dough.
• Holding one edge of dough in the air with both hands and letting bottom touch work surface, carefully move hands around edge of dough (like turning a steering wheel), allowing weight of dough to stretch round to roughly 10 inches.
• Lay dough flat on lightly floured pizza peel (or inverted cookie sheet) and continue to work edges with fingers and stretching into a 14-inch round (or two smaller circles).
• Assemble and bake the pizza according to your favorite recipe.
