**Grilled Pizza Recipe ? Pizza Party

Dough

4 cups bread flour1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon sugar2 package quick-rise yeast1 and 1/2 cups warm water (120 to 130 degrees)2 tablespoon olive oilCooking spray4 tablespoons cornmeal

Combine the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large food processor or bread mixer. Mix until dough forms a ball, (four to five minutes).

Place the dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down; divide in half. Cover and let dough rest 10 minutes.

Working with one portion at a time (cover remaining dough to keep from drying out), roll each portion into a 10-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on pizza pans each sprinkled with 1 tablespoon cornmeal.

This makes four to five 10? pizzas.

Sauce

28 ounce can crushed tomatoes4 garlic cloves, crushed2 tablespoons sugar

Pour crushed tomatoes into a large bowl and add garlic and sugar.? Mix and store in refrigerator until ready to use. use a large ladle to pour onto the crust. the back of the ladle is great to help move the sauce evenly over the crust.

Grilling the Pizzas:

On medium heat, place dough on clean grill grates (most grills will accommodate two or more pizzas) for two to three minutes, check to make sure it has slightly browned.

Turn crust over, brush with olive oil, top with sauce (if using one), toppings and finally cheese.

Grill with lid down another 15 ? 20 minutes or until cheese has melted. Check bottom of crust periodically to make sure it does not burn.

**Fiery Pepper Bloody Mary

In a cup with ice, add 2 ounces Southern Comfort Fiery Pepper (made with real Tabasco) and 6 ounces of your favorite Bloody Mary mix.? top with optional Worcestershire sauce, celery salt and extra Tabasco.? Roll drink into an empty cup to mix and garnish with a pepper.
