ABOUT COOKING PIZZA
The PizzaQue® Pizza Kit for kettle grills is designed
to provide an authentic pizza experience that wasn't
possible before with a barbecue kettle grill or kitchen
oven. This kit operates at temperatures from 700-
1000° F which are ideal temperatures for cooking
pizza.
Cooking the perfect pizza requires a balance of opti-
mal air temperature inside the oven, as well as opti-
mal pizza stone temperature. Your pizza kit for kettle
grills comes with a built in thermometer to give you a
general idea of how hot the ambient air temperature is
at any given time. It is recommended to purchase an
infrared thermometer, so that you may measure stone
temperature before cooking pizza. Purchasing a pizza
screen is also recommended and can be used to slow
cooking on the bottom of your pizza, should it cook
too fast.
Ingredients
• 3 cups pizzacraft
®
• ½ teaspoon active yeast
• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 ½ cup water
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir
to form a rough, shaggy dough. Use more water if
dough is overly dry and more flour if it seems very
wet. Before kneading, allow rough dough to rest
for 10 minutes so that the water has time to absorb.
Knead dough in a stand mixer for 6-7 minutes or
10-12 minutes by hand until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a clean bowl and let it rise for
2 hours or until doubled in size. Punch dough to
release gas and divide into 2 or 3 pieces. Shape
dough into balls and place onto a floured mat, cov-
er with plastic wrap and let rise again for approxi-

PREHEATING OVEN
For the best results with your PizzaQue® Pizza Kit
for kettle grills proper installation and proper
preheating are two key factors. Following the set
up procedures closely will allow you to cook 5 to 7
pizzas consecutively with approximately 10 pounds
of fuel. In this manual, you will see several different
methods for lighting charcoal. The best method is to
use a charcoal chimney starter. However, you will
also find instructions on how to use an electric char-
coal starter as well as lighter fluid. Following these
procedures closely will ensure that the internal oven
and stone temperatures are hot enough for proper
baking. The temperature gauge should read within the
pizza "Cooking Zone" for 5 minutes before starting to
cook.
® DOUGH RECIPE
mately one hour. After the second rise, the dough
is ready to be shaped into a pizza and topped with
your favorite ingredients.
Note: If time allows, let dough rise in the refrigera-
tor for at least 24 hours. A slow rise in the refriger-
ator will produce more flavorful dough. When you
are ready to use, remove from the refrigerator and
shape into 2 or 3 smaller dough balls. Place onto
a floured mat, cover with plastic wrap and let rise
again for approximately two hours or until it feels
warm to the touch. Shape and top as desired.
Store pizzacraft "00" flour in an airtight container
®
to preserve freshness.
