and fresh while I have them, in the winter use less and dried)<\/p>\n<p>Blah blah blah the instructions say&#8230;.\u00a0 Tammy does this.\u00a0 Put dry ingredients in the Kitchen aid with the dough hook, slowly ad liquids until dough forms (and if it looks dry then it is add more water, if it&#8217;s getting to wet STOP), now add your herbs.\u00a0 Bring the dough out and briefly knead it to form what ever shape you are comfortable with, now cut that into 6 equal pieces.\u00a0 This part is easier with a second person.\u00a0 Take each piece and roll into a ball, coat with olive oil and place in bag (we have wrapped with plastic wrap and tossed into one big bag and we have put them in individual zip bags &#8211; makes no difference) once done put in fridge and wait of the OMG goodness that will come the next day.\u00a0 We have kept this in the fridge for ~a week with no issue but we have yet to try freezing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Now it&#8217;s the next day and we want to make pizza on the grill.\u00a0 Fire up that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2060\/2272759664_c91825088c.jpg\">grill <\/a>and get her blazing hot, we turn all 5 burners on high and kill the middle 3 when we put the dough out.\u00a0 It is my experience that rolling your dough out on corn meal in a sided baking sheet works the best and keeps the mess down.\u00a0 But by all means throw corn meal all over the place I don&#8217;t have to sweep it up.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09\u00a0 Put your pretty little crust on the grill and bake for 3-4 minutes (watch them because this will vary based on how hot the grill is and etc).\u00a0 Bring them in and place them baked side up.\u00a0 You are now ready for toppings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/photos_by_tammy\/2832488655\/\" title=\"_IGP9659_1 by tclarkcreations, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3270\/2832488655_af19732f61.jpg\" alt=\"Our ready crust\" height=\"386\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is our assortment of toppings:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/photos_by_tammy\/2833326894\/\" title=\"_IGP9652a by tclarkcreations, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3123\/2833326894_d631a6cc69.jpg\" alt=\"Pizza topping\" height=\"414\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOn this night we were opting for <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.classico.com\/flavors\/product_details.aspx?pid=35\">Sundried Tomato Pesto <\/a>(in the pasta section usually top shelf) and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/clarkcreations.net\/blog\/?p=154\">homemade basil pesto <\/a>as our sauce.\u00a0 The tomato pesto is so rich and luxurious and honestly it just taste great on this crust as does the pesto.\u00a0 Next is the cheese while we don&#8217;t buy the best we do find that <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.belgioioso.com\/FreshMozz.htm\">BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella <\/a>(local <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.samsclub.com\/shopping\/index.jsp\">warehouse club<\/a>) is really good you just can&#8217;t buy a bag of shredded Kraft and expect it to be awesome!\u00a0 One day we will attempt to make our own mozzarella but for now this doing the job.\u00a0 We also were experimenting with Feta cheese as a topping and our taste test determined that the feta was better on the basil pesto.\u00a0 We also had prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3109\/2830481202_490d1cc1ba_b.jpg\">grape<\/a>\u00a0and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3169\/2832545999_cc63898886.jpg\">roma<\/a>) , grilled onions and garlic, chicken spinach and parm sausage links cut into thin slices and for traditional purposes regular roll sausage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here we are ready for the grill:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/photos_by_tammy\/2832488911\/\" title=\"_IGP9662_1 by tclarkcreations, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3241\/2832488911_a06a477da8.jpg\" alt=\"_IGP9662_1\" height=\"324\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOf course KLT always says I put to much stuff on it, I don&#8217;t care it makes us even for how he can never close his fajita or burrito.<\/p>\n<p>Put the topped pizza out on the grill and cook till the other side of the crust is done and your cheese is melted.
