preparation

1. Prepare the pizza dough

Crumble the yeast and dissolve it in lukewarm water with a pinch of sugar.

Put flour and salt in a bowl. Add yeast water and olive oil.

Knead everything into a smooth, elastic dough (approx. 8–10 minutes).

Cover the dough and let it rise for 45–60 minutes , until its volume has significantly increased.

2. Prepare the tomato sauce

Season the tomato sauce with oregano, sugar, salt and pepper and mix well.

3. Prepare the grill

Preheat the grill with the lid on to 250–350 °C .

Place a pizza stone on the grill and let it heat up for at least 15 minutes so that it retains enough heat.

4. Shape the pizza

Divide the dough into 5-6 portions .

Roll out each portion very thinly (approx. 3-4 mm) on a floured work surface.

5. Top the pizza

First, spread the dough with tomato sauce.

Then spread the cheese evenly.

Finally, add the desired ingredients.

6. Grill pizza

Carefully place the pizza onto the hot pizza stone using a pizza peel .

Close the grill lid and bake the pizza for 5-8 minutes , until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted.

Serve

Remove the finished pizza from the grill, garnish with fresh arugula, basil or a little olive oil if desired and serve immediately.
