Grilled Martini Pizza And A Party
- DOUGH & PIZZA TOPPINGS
- 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 tablespoon honey or agave
- 1 3/4 tablespoon olive oil - plus more on hand to oil the dough balls
- 7 oz room temperature water
- Smoky Balsamic BBQ sauce (recipe below)
- Martini olives - sliced
- Mozzarella - thin sliced or shredded (fresh or packaged)
- An array of fresh sliced garden vegetables
- Optional - Blue Sapphire Martini(s)
- Smoky Balsamic BBQ Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (I sometimes use honey or agave)
- 2 teaspoons granulated onion powder
- 3 tablespoons dark balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 1-1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
- 1/8 teaspoon, a pinch, sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon, a pinch, ground allspice
- 15 oz can tomato sauce
- Optional - Tabasco to taste
- Place all dry dough ingredients in an electric stand mixer with dough hook.rnTurn the mixer on to lowest speed and slowly stream in the combined wet ingredients.
- Mix on low for 3 minutes or until the dough forms a ball that clears the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Let the dough rest, covered, for 15 minutes. Mix again on medium low for 5 minutes, stopping half way to gather dough into a ball, if needed. Mix until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, form each into a ball - this dough is very easy to work with.
- Place each dough ball inside its own Ziploc bag and drizzle in 1 teaspoon of olive oil, covering all sides of the ball.rnSeal bags and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Refrigerate 3 hours to overnight. Let the dough sit at room temperature for a couple hours before working with it.
- READY TO GRILL: Flatten each ball - needs a little flour for this, I like using Wondra. Stack the rounds on top of each other with parchment paper in-between.
- Quickly grill the dough on both sides over high heat, just until starting to bubble, then place the hot rounds on a rack.
- Have each guest dress one up, pretty, fitting for a party, with toppings of choice.
- Place back onto the grill over indirect heat for cheese melting and crisping.
- In a sauce pan melt the butter, browning it a bit.
- Add the sugar, onion powder, vinegar, molasses, liquid smoke, salt and allspice. rnHeat ingredients until they start to bubble, stir in tomato sauce and simmer, covered, for an hour.
- Stir in Tabasco sauce to taste, optional.
