Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups warm water
• 2 packages of quick rise yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 5-5½ cups all-purpose flour
• 32 charcoal briquettes
• Pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings

Directions

• Add water, yeast, and sugar to a mixing bowl. Stir and then let proof for about 5 minutes.
• Add salt, honey, and about 2.5 cups of flour. Mix ingredients together.
• Add remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until dough doesnt stick to your hands.
• Form until ball and knead several times (or use a dough hook for this part.)
• Place in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise at least 30 minutes. The longer it rises, the better.
• Heat the charcoal briquettes.
• Place 19 pieces of lit charcoal on the bottom. Place dutch oven on top.
• Let heat for about 5-10 minutes.
• Carefully put half of the dough into the dutch oven and push to the edges.
• Spoon pizza sauce on top.
• Layer toppings, ending with cheese.
• Place lid on top and place 13 pieces of charcoal on top.
• It took us about 35 minutes for the pizza to be done completely. I would check every 15 minutes.
• If the dough is done but the cheese isnt melted completely, place several more pieces of lit charcoal on top to help brown it faster (or you can use the Electrolight Fire Starter!)
