 Steps:

  1. Use parchment paper to put the dough on for making and cooking the pizza.
  2. Heat Rec Tec 590 pellet grill to 475° Fahrenheit. 
  3. Place 2 pizzas on the grill for 10 minutes before checking. 
  4. Turn them and let the meat lovers on for 5 more minutes (15 total) and end up leaving the Hawaiian on for 3 more minutes (18 total). The Pepperoni and Margherita were both on around 15 minutes total. 
  5. Times may vary depending on the grill.
  6. Pull them off, slice, and enjoy!

 

Grilled Pizza Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

-1 1/2 cups water warmed to about 110ºF (you can use beer as well)

-1 package of yeast

-2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons

-4 cups bread flour

-1 teaspoon sugar

-2 teaspoons salt (we prefer kosher)


Steps:
  1. Pour 1 ½ cups of water into a microwave-safe bowl.  Warm in the microwave to about 105° to 110° Fahrenheit. 
  2.  Pour in yeast, stir and let stand for 10 minutes to activate.
  3. While the yeast is activating, grease a large bowl with a thin coat of olive oil, then add the flour, sugar, salt, and blend. 
  4. Slowly add the yeast mixture and mix, kneading and combining until the mixture forms into a dough ball.  If it’s sticky, add a little more flour to it, if it’s a little dry, add a little more water. The dough should not be sticky. We used a Kitchen Aid mixer with a dough hook.
  5. Form into a ball and rub olive oil over the dough ball. 
  6. Place dough in a clean bowl coated with olive oil. 
  7. Cover with a damp towel and let the dough rise for an hour.  
  8. Once finished, knead down one final time on a floured board and cut into four equal pieces. 
  9. Form into four equal dough balls and place on parchment paper.  
  10. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes.  Then take out each dough ball and stretch it out. 

We don’t worry about perfect symmetrical circles, in fact, we let the dough determine its own shape for that authentic Italian look. Stretching it out any which way until it’s to your desired thickness (ours usually turn out to be about 10″ x 8″ with uneven edges).  


Then we drizzle a thin coat of olive oil on top and gently rub evenly over the dough, it’s ready for the toppings.


Craig uses his Hailey Home Personalized Cherry Chopping Block with a Juice Groove to make these delicious pizzas with minimal mess. Juice Grooves are the best for any cookout to keep any juices or mess on the board and off the ground or table that you’re grilling on.

Bánh mì (Banh mi) Burger Sliders by Chris Campbell

“In Vietnamese cuisine, a traditional Bánh mì is a French Bread baguette that is filled with meat (usually some type of pork) and topped with fresh herbs and vegetables.  It’s one of my favorite sandwiches, and in my opinion, it blows away the American sub sandwich.  This recipe is an adaption of the Bánh mì me and uses seasoned ground pork to make the sliders.”

Ingredients:

-1 lb ground pork

-1 Tbsp lemongrass finely minced (most Asian markets sell this pre-minced in the    frozen section)

-1 Tbsp oyster sauce

-1 tsp fish sauce

-1 tsp sesame oil

-1 tsp minced ginger

-1/2 tsp white pepper

-2 cloves garlic minced

-1/4 cup green onions minced

-Pinch of salt

-1 birds eye chili minced or chili flakes (optional)

Garnish:

-Cilantro

-Sliced Jalapenos

-Pickled carrots and daikon radish julienned (recipe below)

- sliced cucumbers

- siracha mayo (optional)

Pickled Carrots and Daikon Radish (for garnish):

-2 medium carrots

-1 small daikon radish

-¼ cup sugar

-1 cup warm water

-pinch of salt

 

Steps:

  1. Preheat your grill to 450 degrees. 
  2. Mix the ingredients for the sliders together in a big bowl.  Don’t be afraid to use your hands!  Divide the pork mixture into six equal balls and form the slider patties. 
  3. Grill the pork sliders until they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.  The sliders are small and won’t take long!  Test for doneness using your favorite meat thermometer and be careful not to dry out the pork!  
  4. While grilling the pork, remember to toast your buns!  Be careful not to burn these (hint, brioche buns burn FAST!
  5. Assemble your sliders, and top with the garnish and enjoy.  I like to use fresh ingredients directly from my backyard Earthbox garden!
