garlic salt before spreading your tomato sauce.

Add this yeast mixture to flour and oil and combine to
form your pizza dough. Knead on a lightly floured
surface until smooth and elastic. Cover and stand in a
warm place until doubled in size. Knock back dough
and roll out to a rectangle the size of your cooking
pan or baking dish. Place dough into a lightly oiled
pan.
If you purchased a ready-made pizza dough, simply
open can and roll dough into a lightly oiled cooking
pan.
Preparing the Pizza
Spread tomato paste or Italian tomato sauce on top of
your pizza dough. Top with pepperoni, red peppers,
olives, and lastly, mozzarella cheese. Or if you prefer,
you may place cheese first with toppings on last.
Place a cooking pan in center of grill and cook
indirectly,with one outside burner on HIGH and the
other on LOW, for approximately 20 minutes or until
bottom of crust is light brown. Lastly, raise the lid and
finish cooking pizza by turning burner under the
cooking pan on high for about 2 minutes. This will
insure the center of pizza gets brown. Then turn off
heat, slice and serve directly from pan.
