Instructions
For the Crust
- Mix warm water, sugar and yeast and let sit 5 minutes until yeast proofs.
- Add 2 ½ cups flour with the yeast which has bubbled and mix well in Kitchen Aid or with a dough hook.
- Add additional 2 ½ cups flour and salt, knead until smooth.
- Cover bowl with saran wrap. Let dough rest in a ball for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Remove dough from bowl and add more flour as needed (a little at a time) so it's not as sticky but only add as needed. Press the dough into a circle and brush one side with olive oil.
For the Pizza
- Heat a grill to 500 degrees and put the oiled side down. Brush the top with more oil. Flip the dough as soon as marks appear and spread with cheese, all toppings except the cilantro sauce and close the lid for a minute or two to melt the cheese. Turn the flames down if needed.*See note for cooking in the oven.
For the Cilantro Cream Sauce
- Put all of the ingredients listed minus the sour cream into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add the sour cream and whisk until smooth.
Notes
* Alternately you could heat an oven to 500 degrees and prepare the dough, add the toppings and proceed, baking it until gooey and bubbly. Serve with a drizzle of fresh cilantro cream!
Pizza will keep for 4 days in the refrigerator.
