A month or so ago-- the Martha Stewart of our ward (and seriously... she is way better than Martha!) made some grilled pizza. Unfortunately I didn't get to attend. Lucky for me, I had already had her awesome pizza at a wedding reception. Also lucky for me, she passed out the recipe!! This might prove to be lucky for you too! We made some bbq chicken pizza on the grill tonight.
It was awesome!!
Doesn't it look super delish?? It was perfect...
Pizza in the summer without heating the oven!! (Believe me... this made Jimbo VERY happy!)
Here's the recipe:
Deep Dish Pizza Dough
3 1/4 cups bread flour (I used regular flour- I'm not Martha!)
2/3 cup cornmeal
1 1/2 Tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (plus extra as needed)
5 Tablespoons olive oil
Combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and yeast. Pulse to mix. While stirring add the water and olive oil in a steady stream. Knead until the dough forms into a ball. Spinkle with 1-2 t of water until a rough mass forms. Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Knead again for 25-30 seconds. The dough should be tacky to the touch but not sticky. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubles in bulk and spongy. Divide the dough into 2 or 3 equal pieces- shape as desired.
Grilling Directions:
To prepare gas grill, turn all burners on high and close the lid. Allow the grill to heat for 10-15 minutes. Check to make sure the grill reaches 500 degrees. Once the grill is heateed, scrape the grill clean. Turn off one or more of the burners so that there is a flame beneath only half of the cooking area. Using a pair of long tongs- lightly dip a wad of paper towels into oil and the wipe the heat free zone of the grill. This will prevent the dough from sticking. Place the dough round on the flame free part of the grill. Once the first side is browned, use a pizza peel ( a big wooden pizza shovel-ish thing--I had to order one from amazon!) to flip the pizza. Quickly top with sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings you want. Put the lid down and cook until the cheese is melted!!
You will LOVE it! I used Bulls-eye BBQ sauce, grilled chicken breasts, red onions, and mozzerella cheese. :)
Another swim season has come to an end.
I always enjoy watching my kids swim. But then again, I always enjoy when the season ends. At the Wagner house (when we have kids in high school) our swim season begins in January and ends in July. Swim meets run from March to July. I'm sure you can see why I enjoy the end too!!
I have no idea why these pictures posted so small. By no means did the season end small for Riley and Andrea. These two swimming beasts swam tough. Riley ended last week by swimming his best times ever!! Andrea ended her season at the Kern County meet today making the finals in all of her events. She got 5th in butterfly, 5th in breaststroke, and 3rd in freestyle. Riley left for young men's camp this morning, so he didn't get to swim at county. I believe he would have made the finals as well.
Good job my little swim beasts. We are so very proud of both of you.
