Pizza with Sausage, Tomatoes and Basil

Ok, so I had these pizzas at my friend Nicole's house...SOOOOO Good! I bugged her about the recipe for weeks after because I wanted another one so bad. It's almost enough to go out and buy a BBQ grill just so I can have one.

INGREDIENTS

Dough:

1 1/4 C. all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp. yeast

1 tsp salt

Vegetable oil cooking spray

Topping:

1 pound red and yellow cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 pound turkey sausage, cooked and thinly sliced

1 C. grated part-milk mozarella

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil

1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

PREPARATION

For dough:

Mix flour, yeast and salt in a bowl. Gradually add 1/2 cup warm (110 degree) water until a soft dough forms. Divide into 4 portions. Using hands, roll dough into balls, coat with cooking spray, cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise 30 to 45 minutes. When ready to cook, place each ball of dough on a piece of wax paper and flatten into a 4-inch circle. Coat grill with cooking spray and heat on high. Gently lift dough onto grill and cook until dough puffs and underside stiffens (about 30 seconds); flip and reduce heat to low.

For topping:

Mix topping ingredients and then divide among crusts; cover grill. Grill until cheese melts, 5 to 6 minutes more. Slice and serve.

Ok, so that's the recipe, but that's not exactly how we had them. We had the sauce separate, so the balsamic vinegar, red pepper flakes and olive oil. We spread that on each pizza first and then a layer of mozzarella, and then a mix of toppings, including:

mushrooms

sauteed mushrooms and onions

red peppers

tomatoes

sliced olives

pinenuts

pepperoni

canadian bacon

zucchini sliced

any toppings you want really, and then topped again with mozzarella...cooked until melted. Sooooo good!

And the best part, the dough cooks right on the grill. Great summer food, and healthy!
