Grilled Pizza Bread
Frozen dough works well for this recipe, or ask your favorite
pizzeria for dough. If youre not in a hurry, you can even make
your own dough. Stretching it instead of rolling it makes it nicely
uneven, creating crispy and chewy textures.
For the seasoning:
|
1 |
|
cup extra virgin olive oil |
|
2 |
|
teaspoons ground Mediterranean oregano |
|
1 |
|
teaspoon onion powder |
|
3/4 |
|
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
|
1/2 |
|
teaspoon curry powder |
|
1/2 |
|
teaspoon salt |
|
1/2 |
|
teaspoon garlic powder |
|
1/2 |
|
teaspoon finely ground red pepper flakes |
|
1/4 |
|
teaspoon ground cumin |
|
1/4 |
|
teaspoon cayenne pepper |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flour |
|
3 |
|
one-pound balls of pizza dough |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chopped tomatoes (optional) |
|
|
|
Chopped onions (optional) |
|
|
|
Chopped fresh basil (optional) |
To make the seasoning: In a small saucepan combine all the seasoning
ingredients. Whisk over low heat just until warm and oil becomes fragrant.
Remove from heat and let rest for 2 hours at room temperature.
Lightly flour the back of a 15 x 10" baking sheet and one of the pizza
dough balls. Stretch out the dough to the size of the baking sheet. Place
the stretched dough on the back of the baking sheet.
Stir the seasoned oil and liberally brush the surface of the dough.
Turn the baking sheet (like a big spatula!) with the dough directly
onto the cooking grate. Remove the baking sheet and liberally brush the
top side of the dough with the seasoned oil. Grill over
Direct Medium heat until the underside of the dough is marked, 1 to 3
minutes. Don't worry if the crust bubbles; it will deflate when turned
over. Slide the dough onto the baking sheet and flip the ungrilled
side onto the grill. Brush the top with more oil and continue to grill
for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from grill and cool slightly on a cooling rack. Top with chopped
tomatoes, chopped onions, and fresh basil, if desired. Cut into individual
pieces. Repeat grilling procedure for 2 remaining balls of dough. Serve
warm.
Makes 12 to 15 servings.
