hoursIngredients
- The Dough
2 cups spelt flour
2 cups kamut flour (plus extra for dusting)
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
10 ounces warm water
1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
- The Sauce
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds fresh tomatoes, quartered
Pink Himalayan salt u0026 pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried Italian spices
1-2 cloves garlic
- Suggested Toppings
Bell peppers, onions, asparagus, zucchini, eggplant ~ need to be roasted ahead of time
Fresh tomatoes, spinach, olives, artichokes ~ can be topped raw

Directions
- The Dough
- Mix together flours, yeast, water and salt in a bowl or in a mixer
- When well mixed into a dough ball, cover with warm towels and let stand 2 hours
- Add 1/4-1/2 cup more flour (check consistency) and mix again
- Let stand 30 minutes
- Roll into 4-5 balls
- These balls of dough can be wrapped in plastic food wrap, put in a zipper bag and frozen
- To thaw, place in the oven with oven light on only – this makes dough warm and easy to roll out…Goodbye Pillsbury!
- The Sauce
- While the dough is rising, cover the bottom of a sauce pan with olive oil
- Add tomatoes, salt u0026 pepper, garlic, dried spices and fresh basil
- Allow sauce to reduce to desired thickness (at least 30 to 40 minutes) *This too can be frozen in 1 cup portions for future use
- When rolling out the dough, use flour to dust the surface and rub into both sides of the dough
- Place onto a cutting board
- Set your grill to about 450 degrees
- Prepare all your toppings and have them ready beside the grill
- Brush the dough with olive oil and put it directly on the grill, about 4-5 minutes
- The crust may bubble in a few areas, just press gently on it to break them
- Remove from grill and top the cooked side
- Reduce heat
- Slide the pizza back onto the grill and close the lid to complete the cooking and melt the cheese (approximately 4-5 more minutes)
- Remove and top with fresh basil u0026 Pecorino Romano cheese
- Cut with a pizza cutter, and serve
Notes
- Be sure the grill master gets a piece, it goes fast
