Grilled Naked Pizza with Cilantro/Lime Oil

Pizza on the grill is the best thing ever. It’s not that hard—you just need a firm dough and a really warm grill.


Makes 2

You will need:
2 teaspoons dry yeast
11⁄3 cups lukewarm water
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
31⁄2 cups all purpose flour
1 bunch cilantro
1 lime, just the juice
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup olive oil

  1. Make the dough by mixing yeast and water in a bowl. Leave for 5 minutes.
  2. Add honey, salt, oil, and flour. Mix until you have a smooth dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for at least 1 hour.
  3. Place cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil in a blender and blend until you have a smooth, thick oil.
  4. Get your grill going—remember it needs to be really hot. You will need a clean grill rack for this, so clean it well if it’s old and gritty.
  5. Divide your dough in 2 and place each on well-greased parchment paper. Press them out using your fingers and coat with a layer of olive oil.
  6. Flip the paper upside down on your grill and slowly remove the paper. Let the pizzas grill for 3 minutes.
  7. Flip the pizza over and grill for another 3 minutes.
  8. Take it o the grill and cut into pieces.
  9. Serve with some salt and the cilantro oil.
