Recipe

• 1 grilled pizza with spicy italian sausage
• 2 dough.
• 3 combine water and sugar in a food processor. sprinkle yeast over; let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• 4 add oil, then 3 cups flour and salt. process until dough comes together, about 1 minute.
• 5 turn dough out onto floured work surface.
• 6 sprinkle with rosemary.
• 7 knead until dough is smooth and elastic, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls if dough is sticky, about 5 minutes. lightly oil large bowl. add dough; turn to coat with oil. cover bowl with plastic, then towel.
• 8 let stand in warm draft-free area until dough doubles, about 1 hour. to test that the dough has risen sufficiently, push two fingers into it. the depressions should remain.
• 9 punch down dough. knead dough in bowl until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• 10 divide dough into 4 equal pieces. stretch out each piece on floured surface to 9-inch round. to prevent the dough from sticking as you stretch it, use flour sparingly; too much will result in a tough crust.
• 11 toppings.
• 12 whisk first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. let vinaigrette stand 15 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
• 13 prepare grill (medium heat).
• 14 arrange sausages, peppers and onion on baking sheet. brush with some of vinaigrette. sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• 15 grill sausages until cooked through and peppers and onion until slightly charred and crisp-tender, turning and basting occasionally, about 12 minutes for sausages and 8 minutes for peppers and onion.
• 16 transfer sausages and vegetables to cutting board. cut sausages into 1/2-inch pieces and peppers into thin strips.
• 17 final preparation
• 18 place 2 dough rounds on grill. grill over medium heat until top of dough puffs and underside is crisp, about 3 minutes.
• 19 turn rounds over. grill 1 minute.
• 20 transfer to baking sheet with well-grilled side up. this side of the dough becomes the surface that will hold the toppings.
• 21 repeat with the remaining 2 dough rounds.
• 22 sprinkle each with 1/4 of mozzarella and parmesan.
• 23 top each with 1/4 of sausage, peppers and onion, then with 1/4 of goat cheese, tomatoes and green onions. drizzle each with 1 1/2 teaspoons vinaigrette.
• 24 using large metal spatula, return 2 pizzas to grill. close grill or cover pizzas loosely with foil.
• 25 grill until cheeses melt and dough is cooked through and browned, using tongs to rotate pizzas for transfer to plates. repeat grilling for remaining 2 pizzas.
