Directions

  1. Choose a variation. Preheat grill for direct cooking over medium-high heat (400-450°F/200-230°C).

  2. For toppings, place onion and ground beef  in 12” (30-cm) Skillet. Cook over medium heat 5-7 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking beef into crumbles with Mix ‘N Chop; drain. Set aside. 

  3. Combine ketchup and mustard in 1-cup (250-mL) Prep Bowl. Prepare add-ons.

  4. For dough, combine dry ingredients, except sesame seeds, in Classic Batter Bowl; mix well.  Stir in yogurt; mix until combined (mixture will look dry).

  5. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.  Knead dough 4 minutes, sprinkling with additional flour as needed. Shape dough into a ball.

  6. Roll dough into a 12” (30-cm) circle using lightly floured Baker’s Roller®. Brush Rockcrok® Grill Stone with oil using Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush and sprinkle surface evenly with sesame seeds.  Transfer dough onto stone; roll out to edges. Pierce entire surface of dough using pastry tool.

  7. Place stone on grid of grill.  Grill, covered, 9-13 minutes or until bottom of crust is golden brown, rotating stone halfway through grill time.  Remove stone to Stackable Cooling Rack.

  8. Flip crust and spread ketchup mixture to within ½” (1-cm) of edges. Top with half of cheese, all of the ground beef mixture, add-ons and remaining cheese.

  9. Grill 4-6 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown. Remove stone from grill. Cut pizza into slices.
