MEATY GRILLED PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Grill the sausage, turning, until cooked through. Cut into slices. (Alternatively, remove the sausage from its casings, cook on a griddle on the grill and crumble.)
• Meanwhile, put the Canadian bacon, onion slices and mushroom cap on the grill. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes, then flip and grill until the onion and mushroom are slightly charred and tender, another 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then roughly chop.
• To set up the pizza stone on the grill, stack 2 bricks on top of each other on one side of the grill and 2 more bricks on top of each other on the other side of the grill, about 12 inches apart to create a platform for the pizza stone. Put the pizza stone on top of the bricks to elevate it over the grates. The stone should be 5 to 6 inches above the grates. Raise the heat to medium high, cover and preheat for 30 minutes to allow the pizza stone to get nice and hot.
• On a floured work surface, press the pizza dough into a round 12 to 14 inches in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick. Dust a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet with the cornmeal. Transfer the dough to the pizza peel or baking sheet.
• Top the dough with the sauce and spread it out with a spoon into a thin layer. Top with the pepperoni, sausage, Canadian bacon, onions, mushroom and mozzarella. Carefully slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. Cover the grill and cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 12 to 14 minutes. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and the basil. Slice and serve hot.

MEATY HOMEMADE PIZZA!

• Allow to cool for later use, or go ahead and top with pizza sauce and browned hamburger meat, pepperoni, canadian bacon and grated cheese (or toppings of your choice). Bake pizza at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until cheese is melted to your preference.

3-MEAT PIZZA

Steps:

• 1. NOTE: You can use already made pizza crust, frozen or homemade pizza dough. Cooking time can and will vary depending on the pizza dough you select. Be sure to follow instructions for baking your pizza based on the dough you selected to use. I used a homemade dough and the directions are based on the dough I used.
• 2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• 3. Stretch or press dough out onto a large pizza pan. I used a 16-inch round pizza pan. NOTE: I stretched this dough by turning in a circular motion as I let it hang freely from my (oiled) hands. I found the hard way that rolling out a dough will only make it tough.
• 4. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over dough. (NOTE: don't over do it with the pizza sauce or dough will be soggy). Then start layering your favorite toppings. I loaded this pizza with 3 meats, peppers, onions, olives, mushrooms and thinly sliced tomatoes and then topped with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• 5. Bake for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown around the edges.
• 6. DIRECTIONS FOR PIZZA DOUGH USING BREAD MACHINE: Place ingredients in pan of bread machine in the order they are listed.
• 7. Select 1-lb setting and then select dough cycle and start your machine.
• 8. Once machine has finished it's work, oil hands and stretch dough by allowing the dough to hang from your hand while turning it slowly in a circular motion. Once the appropriate size or close to size you need, lay onto pizza pan. Press edges out as needed to fit your pan. If you are already a pro with pizza and can toss, then toss your pizza dough. I've not mastered that yet!
• 9. NOTE: do not roll out the pizza dough or you will have a tough dough.
