Ingredients

For the Crust
  • 1 ½ c whole wheat flour
  • 1 ¼ c white whole wheat flour* or unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 c water, warmed to 90-100F
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
Topping Options
  • 1 c Pizza Sauce
  • 1 ½ c mozzarella cheese (Or, try it with pepper jack, asiago, or feta.)
  • 4 oz whole baby mushrooms
  • ½ green pepper, un-cut
  • ½ onion, un-cut
  • fresh herbs

Instructions

For the Crust
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 c whole wheat flour, 1 ¼ c white wheat (or all purpose) flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Mix to combine.
  2. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, combine water and oil. Pour into the flour mixture and mix until the dough is moistened.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth, adding the last ½ c of whole wheat flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
  4. Divide the dough into 4 pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
  5. The dough can be immediately rolled out into pizza crusts to be grilled, or it can rest, covered with a tea towel for up to 1 hour.
Putting It All Together
  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat. (You should be able to hold your hand 4 inches over the cooking grate for 5-6 seconds.)
  2. Place mushrooms on a bamboo skewer, for easy cooking. Brush the mushroom skewers, pepper half, and onion half lightly with oil. Grill the veggies, covered, for 5-7 minutes. Remove from the grill and slice as desired for pizza topping.
  3. Roll each dough ball into an 8” disc. Brush each side with olive oil and place on a baking sheet or plate (in a single layer).
  4. Check that the grill is still at medium heat, and place the crusts on the grill. Cover and cook 1-2 minutes.
  5. Remove the crusts from the grill to a plate, with the grilled side up. Top your crusts with pizza sauce, cheese, and any veggies you desire.
  6. Transfer the pizzas, carefully, back to the grill. Cook, covered, for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt.*
  7. Carefully remove from the grill and serve hot.

Notes

  • *Alternately, you can flip your pizza crusts and top them right on the grill. But, be careful. The grill gets quite hot when you have the lid open, and you need to work quickly so the crusts are not burned. We found that it is less stressful and more fun if the crusts are removed from the grill after cooking the first side. This way, everyone can top their own pizza without worrying about burning fingers or the crust.
