Best Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water and honey. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Stir the mixture until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
5. Once the dough has risen, divide it into desired portions for pizzas. Roll out each portion into a thin circle.
6. Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat. Brush one side of each pizza dough round with olive oil.
7. Place the oiled side down on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes until the dough begins to bubble and grill marks form.
8. Carefully flip the dough over using tongs or a spatula. Brush the uncooked side with olive oil and add your desired toppings.
9. Close the lid of the grill and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the crust is cooked through and the toppings are heated.
10. Remove from the grill, slice, and enjoy your BBQ pizza!

Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference, and don’t forget to have fun experimenting with different flavor combinations!
