How To Prepare Grilled Pizza Margherita ?

Preparation:

Preparation time: 25 mins

Cooking time: 10 mins

Serving: 4-6

Ingredients:

Pizza Dough

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast
2 1/4 teaspoons fine sea or table salt
1 1/2 cups warm (100-110°F) water, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons olive oil

Tomato Sauce

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce) can whole or crushed peeled tomatoes

Pizza

Olive oil, for brushing the pizza
8 ounces mozzarella, thinly sliced
Fresh basil, torn, for garnish

Instructions:

Brush a large bowl with olive oil.
In a second large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast and salt. Add the warm water and olive oil and use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture until a soft, slightly shaggy, dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time; if it’s too dry, add additional warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until its smooth and elastic, 10-12 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to the oiled bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set the bowl in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 2 hours (or refrigerate for 6-8 hours).
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Lower the heat and simmer until thickened, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Season to taste with salt and pepper. For a smoother sauce, use an immersion or regular blender to purée the sauce. The sauce can be made ahead and stored, in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for 5 days, or frozen up to 3 months.
Once the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and divide it into 2 parts. (At this point the dough can be tightly wrapped in a double layer of plastic wrap and frozen for up to 1 month; defrost in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours before using.) Cover each piece of dough loosely with plastic wrap and let rest until slightly puffy, 10-20 minutes.
Heat a grill to high (at least 550°F).
On a lightly floured work surface, gently roll or stretch 1 ball of dough into a 12- to 14-inch circle or rectangle. Transfer the dough to a large baking sheet or pizza peel, stretching and reshaping it as necessary.
Brush 1 side of the dough with olive oil and then carefully place it, oiled-side-down, onto the hot grill grates. Close the grill and cook until the bottom of the crust is golden and taking on grill marks, 1-2 minutes. Carefully return the crust to the baking sheet or pizza peel, grilled-side-down. Brush the raw side with olive oil and then flip the dough so the grilled side is facing up. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border, then top with an even layer of mozzarella. Return the pizza to the grill, close the grill and cook until the bottom of the crust is golden and taking on grill marks and the cheese is bubbling, 3-5 minutes.

Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve immediately.
