...That smell of melted cheese with juicy red tomatoes sinking in to the crispy crust topped with fresh basil from the garden...
Who doesn't feel extra cool when they make their own pizza dough? I know I do! This pizza becomes extra elegant when made on the grill. The different cheeses gives an abundance amount of flavor-chewy mozzarella, flavorful parmigiano, and creamy feta. Tomatoes and Basil give it a refreshing splash!
Let's Get started!

Pizza Dough:
Ingredients
3 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons of Salt
1 teaspoon of Sugar
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 1/3 Warm water, 110 degrees
1 envelope of yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
Instructions
1. Add the yeast to warm water and set aside for 3 mintues.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with dough attachment (If you don't have one that's okay! I've done it by mixing it really well with my hands.)
3. Mix everything till well combined. If mixing with hands gently knead a bit
4. Oil two bowls and set aside. Dive dough in half and roll into a ball. Place each ball of dough in oiled bowl, seam side down. Brush tops of dough with olive oil. Cover with plastic and set in a warm place. I put mine in my non-heated oven.
5. Let rise for two hours.
6. After two hours take dough out and punch and put to use!
