Pizza on the braai
Recipe by Fatima Sydow
As you all know, when we braai there is a period where we have to wait for the coals to reach the perfect temperature before we can braai our meat. Well, what I do is when the coals are that hot, I make pizza. I place my tray with my pizza on top of the braai until the base bakes golden brown, then I place it in a very hot oven on the grill to finish it off. Tastes amazing. So while we wait for the meat, we can nibble on delicious cheesy pizza.
Ingredients (Base):
-
2 cups of flour
-
1 tsp of salt
-
1 tsp of instant yeast
-
1 tbsp of olive oil
-
1/2 a cup of lukewarm water
Method
Mix all ingredients together and knead for 5 minutes.Place in a lightly oiled bowl and cover, and allow to rise for an hour. You can make a big pizza, two small pizzas or small cocktail pizzas with this dough.
I used white mature cheddar, fresh basil, tomatoes, garlic and a little tomato sauce to spread on the base. Always bake in a very hot oven or place the pizza in a hot pan on the stove or hot coals while braaing until the base turns golden brown. Then grill further in a very hot oven until cheese has melted and edges of the pizza are golden brown.
You can use any toppings of your choice. Delicious and oh so cheesy!
