Ingredients

Quick Dough

500g

bread flour, plus a little for kneading

50g

diced butter

1 tsp.

instant yeast

300 ml

warm water


Fig, Honey & Ricotta

2

fresh, ripe figs

2 tbsp. 

runny honey

3 tsp.

ricotta


Peach, Raspberry & Mascarpone

1

ripe peach, sliced

12

fresh raspberries

3 tsp.

mascarpone


Nutella, Marshmallow & Hazelnut

1 tbsp.

Nutella

a handful

mini marshmallows

1 tbsp. 

chopped hazelnuts

Method
  1. Add the bread flour, yeast and diced butter to a mixing bowl - stir well until combined. Gradually pour in the warm water, mixing as you go to bring it together as a rough ball. Tip onto a lightly floured worktop and knead together for a good 10 minutes until you have a smooth elastic ball of dough
  2. Place into a lightly oiled, clean bowl and cover with a clean tea towel or cling film. Leave to rise for an hour
  3. Fire up the burners on the barbecue to a high heat and leave to get to temperature whilst you shape the dough. Have all your fillings prepared and ready in bowls by the barbecue so they are ready to go - this is a really quick recipe once you get cooking
  4. Lightly oil a baking sheet and tip the dough onto it. Knock down the dough and use a knife or dough cutter to cut into 8 even sized pieces
  5. Once the grill bars are really hot (about 10 minutes), you can start to cook the pizza
  6. Take a ball of dough and roll it out on the oiled surface to a circle about 15cm. Lay directly on the grill bars and leave to cook for a couple of minutes. You can roll out another ball of dough and start cooking it but don’t try and cook more than 2 at a time as they cook so quickly it’s better to cook in batches
  7. Once the pizza base is crisp remove it to a plate or board and turn it over so its cooked side up. Spread your chosen fillings out onto the cooked side - try not to overload or it will become unwieldy and there will be a danger of the fillings oozing off the base and burning on the grill
  8. Slide the pizza back onto the grill bars using a fish slice and shut the lid of the barbecue. Leave to cook for another minute or two, just enough time for the toppings to melt and heat up
  9. Slide onto a plate and leave to cool for a minute or so before eating!
