Pizza Dough

2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

One 1/4-ounce package quick-rising yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon table salt

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1. Combine 1 3/4 cups of the flour, the yeast, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a mixer. Add 3/4 cup very warm water and the oil; mix until a soft dough forms.

2. Add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at time, until the dough becomes manageable.

3. Shape the dough in a ball and place in an oiled bowl; turn the dough over so that an oiled surface is up. Cover and let rise in a warm place until the dough doubles in size, about 35 minutes.

You can use this pizza dough for pretty much anything. Kimber and I used this dough just the other night to make pepperoni and sausage calzones. This dough tastes great cooked up on the grill. Kimber and I love using this pizza dough recipe for grilled BBQ chicken pizza. Here's the recipe:

1. Split the dough into 4 smaller balls of dough and roll out on a table.

2. Heat your gas/charcoal grill to low.

3. Brush the rolled out dough with some olive oil and place onto your grill. Keep a close eye on the dough because it cooks up quickly.

4. When the dough has cooked (4-5 minutes) flip it over. Quickly spread BBQ sauce onto the dough and top with cooked chicken and mozzarella cheese. Garnish with chives.
