Grilled Pizza Dough

Home made grilled pizza dough. This is so good and simple. I really enjoyed making it and it tastes great.
For the dough:

* 1/2 cup warm tap water
* 1 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
* 1/2 teaspoon sugar
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
To make the dough:

In a small bowl add the warm (this activates the yeast. If the water is too hot the yeast will die and if the water is too cold the yeast will not activate) tap water add the dry yeast and the sugar and stir to combine. Let sit for 15 minutes. The top of the water will bubble and it will smell very yeasty, this is what you want.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the olive oil and the yeast/water mixture. Using a fork gradually stir the flour into the yeast/water mix. Once most of the flour has combined, turn the dough out to a smooth clean work surface and use your hands to knead the dough to a smooth consistency.

Return the dough to the mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place for at least 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Preheat grill to medium heat to grill it.   Grill lightly on either side to make crispy and have some grill marks.  Careful it can burn quick and easy if you don't watch it.  All depends on the grill as well.
