Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water (105-115)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (one 1/4 oz pkg)
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Preparation
Step 1
Combine water, sugar and yeast; proof until mixture turns foamy, about 5 minutes.
Mix flours and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add oil to proofed yeast mixture; then pour into flour mixture. Knead dough on low speed 10 minutes. (Dough will begin to climb up the dough hook when its ready)
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat surface. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 2 hours.
Punch dough down and divide it into four balls, pinching the bottom closed. At this point, the dough can be wrapped and frozen for later use, or proceed as follows:
Cover with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise another hour. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 10 to 12 inch circle. Top with your favorite toppings and grill or bake.
If grilling; preheat one side of the grill to medium high, the other side to low. Place dough over hot side of grill, close lid and cook 2-3 minutes. The crust will bubble and grill marks will appear underneath. Use tongs to flip the crust over and move to low heat side. Brush the crust with olive oil which will help with a crispy texture. Add toppings making sure to keep them light so they cook quickly. Return pizza to hot side of grill and cook until cheese is melted.
