Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2-3 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 pkg. active dry yeast or 2 1/4 tsps.
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 cup very warm water

Pizza Toppings

  • Tomato Sauce desired amt.
  • Shredded Cheese desired amt.
  • Other Pizza Toppings Pepperoni, Peppers, Mushrooms, Olives, Etc.

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add 1 cup of the flour, sugar, salt, yeast and oil. Add in the warm water and mix with a metal spoon. Continue to mix for at least one minute, making sure to incorporate all of the flour.
  • Stir in enough of the remaining flour until dough is soft and forms a ball - usually right about 2.5 cups total.
  • Flour your hands, then begin kneading the dough on a floured surface, or right in the bowl, for 2 to 3 minutes. (Basically just play with the dough!)
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap loosely and place the bowl in a warm area to rise. Leave for at least 30 minutes for the dough to rise. Dough should be about double in size.
  • When dough has risen, decide if you want to make one pizza with a thickish crust, or split into two for two thinner crusts.
  • On a piece of floured parchment paper, push dough out into the desired shape. Because the cheese needs to melt, having a grill dome to cover the pizza while it is cooking is ideal. We push the dough out to the size of our dome that way we know it's going to fit in the cooking process.
  • Preheat your camper griddle on low, spraying with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle the gridle with flavored bread crumbs if desired (a favorite of ours) and add the dough to the griddle.
  • Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on that side. You can flip it over once the bottom side is browned. It should be easy to flip now since one side is cooked.
  • Spoon on the desired amount of tomato sauce and sprinkle that with any seasonings you want to use (garlic powder, basil, italian seasoning, etc.).
  • Sprinkle with shredded cheese and top with any toppings you want.
  • Add your grill dome over the pizza. This is done to melt the cheese and cook the toppings. (If you are using peppers, onions or other veggies, you may want to precook them on the grill). This step is really just to melt the cheese.
  • Open the cover to check for doneness. When cooked, cut with a pizza slicer to desired number of slices and serve!
