Ingredients
1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for skillet
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup sliced green bell pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 10 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet with olive oil.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit the skillet, about 10 inches in diameter.
Place the dough into the cast iron skillet and spread pizza sauce evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add pepperoni slices, black olives, and green bell pepper evenly on top of the cheese.
Place the skillet on the preheated grill. Cover the grill and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the grill using heat-resistant gloves.
Let the pizza cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
