This delicious pizza celebrates tomatoes and basil when they are at their finest – in Summer. This recipe starts with a classic homemade pizza base, topped with a garlic oil, baked on the barbecue and then topped with freshly sliced ripe tomatoes and fragrant fresh basil leaves.
- If making dough: Make the dough by mixing the yeast, sugar and water in a jug. Set the mixture aside for 5 minutes, or until it starts to become frothy. Place the flour, semolina and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture along with the oil. Using your hands, mix together until a dough starts to form. Remove from the bowl and knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes, or until smooth. Place the dough in a floured bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Rest in a warm spot, and leave until the dough has doubled in size, approximately 60 minutes.
- To make the garlic oil, combine the olive oil, garlic and Weber Herb Seasoning.
- Prepare the barbecue for pizza cooking over medium-high heat (200°C-260°C) with a Weber Pizza Stone. Place the pizza stone onto your barbecue as directed by your pizza stone instructions and preheat for 15 to 20 minutes.
