Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup (180ml) warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 1 cup (240g) pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (50g) sliced pepperoni (or toppings of choice)
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, or any other preferred toppings

Instructions:

  1. Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl; let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Add yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour; mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  5. Place in an oiled bowl; cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled.
  6. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 450°F/232°C) and place the pizza stone on the grates to heat.
  7. Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal parts.
  8. Roll out each piece on a floured surface into a round shape (about 12 inches in diameter).
  9. Transfer the rolled dough to a floured pizza peel; spread sauce evenly and sprinkle cheese and toppings on top.
  10. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated stone in the grill. Close the lid and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  11. Remove the pizza from the grill with the peel; let cool for a minute, garnish with basil, slice, and enjoy!
