Ingredients :

·         1 teas. Salt

·         1 1/2 cup Warm water divided (110F)

·         3 1/2 cups Unbleached white flour

·         1/4 cup Corn meal

·         1/4 cup Whole wheat flour

·         4 tbls. Olive oil divided

·         2 teas. Light brown sugar

·         2 pks. dry yeast

·         Sauce, Cheese, and Toppings of your choice

How To Make :

(keep in mind the cooking time of these will be shorter than in an oven. Use toppings that take little time at all (if any) to actually cook and do not overload. Try using a soft or crumbled cheese and a cooked, warm sauce.)

DOUGH:

·          Measure 1/2 c warm water in a bowl. Add sugar and yeast and stir to dissolve. Let stand at least 5 minutes to proof (froth forms on top).

·         Meanwhile, sift together into a large bowl the white flour, wheat flour, corn meal and salt. Make a depression in the middle and add 3 Ts of the  olive oil and 1 c warm water. Add yeast mixture.

·         Mix all ingredients with your hands and gather together and place on floured board. Knead about 10 minutes, adding more flour if dough is sticky, to form a smooth, elastic mass.

·         Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Add dough, turning it to coat top.

·         Cover and let rise in warm place, draft−free location until doubled in size − about 45 minutes.

·         While dough is rising prepare desired sauces and toppings. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces and, on floured surface, roll out to desired shape about 1/2 inch thick.

·         Coat both sides of shaped crust with olive oil, then place on grill directly over fire until upper surface begins to bubble (about 2 minutes).

·         Fire must be very hot and grill must be clean (coals should be red with a small flame, like a steak fire; this is important).

·         Watch crust closely and rotate with spatula if necessary. Remove crust and turn cooked side up (it should be golden brown).

Ingredients :

·         1/2 cup finely chopped celery

·         1/3 cup chopped pimento−stuffed green olives

·         1/4 cup chopped pepperoncini

·         1/4 cup chopped cocktail onions

·         8 oz. shredded provolone cheese

·         2 12″ uncooked dough crusts

·         extra virgin olive oil

How To Make :

·         Mix first 7 ingredients for marinated olive salad and chill overnight.

·         Combine olive salad, ham, and cheese. Top one dough crust with 1/2 of mixture. Drizzle with oil. Bake in preheated 500° F oven for

·         8−10 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

·         Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 2−3 minutes before

·         cutting into wedges and serving. Repeat with other dough crust.

Ingredients :

·         1 12 inch Thin Crust Dough shell (uncooked)

·         2 large Tomatoes, diced

·         1 tbls. Chopped jalapeno pepper

·         2 tbls. Grated parmesan cheese

·         1 Avocado, chopped

·         1/2 cup Sour cream

·         2 tbls. Chopped Cilantro

How To Make :

·         Sprinkle with cheeses and season with salt and pepper to taste.

·          Bake in 500 degree oven for 10 to 14 min, until bottom of crust is golden brown.
