Instructions

    Barbecue set up

  • Prepare the barbecue for indirect heat, approx. 260 °C. If using a 57cm charcoal barbecue, you will need 1 chimney starter of lit Weber briquettes.
  • In the Kitchen:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast.
  • Stir in the sugar, red pesto and salt then mix until sugar and salt are dissolved.
  • Slowly add the flour a little at a time and mix.
  • Knead the mixture thoroughly for about 10 minutes.
  • Cover with cling film, and allow the dough to rise for approximately 1 hour in a warm place.
  • Combine smoked paprika with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Finely slice the courgette and Portobello mushrooms.
  • Mix the vegetables with the paprika oil and marinate for around 30 minutes.
  • Slice the Italian salami and smoked cheese and halve the baby mozzarella.
  • Roughly chop the sage and mix with the chunky tomato sauce.
  • Once the dough has risen, divide it into four portions and roll into balls.
  • On a floured surface, roll each individual ball out into a circular shape.
  • Spread tomato sauce evenly onto the pizza bases.
  • Distribute the marinated vegetables on the tomato sauce, followed by salami, smoked cheese and mozzarella.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle the pizza paddle with a little flour and place one of the pizza bases on it.
  • At the barbecue:

  • Preheat the pizza stone on the centre of the cooking grate for about 10 minutes.
  • Place the first pizza on the stone.
  • Bake the pizza, with the lid closed, for about 4-5 minutes or until the base is crisp.
  • Remove the pizza with the pizza paddle scatter fresh rocket salad on top and serve.
  • Tips

  • If you struggle to get the pizza from the worktop onto your stone, you can place it on a piece of baking paper before adding the sauce and place it with the paper on the hot stone. Remove the baking paper after 1-2 minutes and finish the pizza directly on the stone.
