Ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, or as
needed
1 envelope fleischmann'sВ®
pizza crust yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/3 cups very warm water (120
degrees to 130 degrees f)*
1/3 cup oil
additional flour for rolling
additional oil for grilling
pizza sauce
other toppings as desired
shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Start charcoal fire or preheat gas grill to medium-high heat.
Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large
bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1
minute. Gradually add enough flour to make a soft dough. Dough
should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured
surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and
elastic but not sticky, about 5 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 portions. Pat or roll dough on a well-floured
counter to about 8-inch circles; they do not need to be perfect.
Brush both sides of crust with additional oil. Using hands, lift each
crust carefully and place on grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until
bottom is lightly browned and top looks set. Using long handled
tongs, remove crust from grill, grilled side up, to a platter or baking
sheet.
Lightly add sauce and top the grilled side of each pizza crust.
Excess sauce or toppings makes the pizza hard to handle. Repeat
with remaining pizzas.
Carefully slide each pizza onto the grill. Cook an additional 3 to 4
minutes until bottom of crust is browned and cheese is melted.
Remove from grill and serve immediately.
