How it's done

Dough

Mix the flour, salt, chili flakes and yeast in a bowl. Add the water, oil and balsamic, knead for approx. 10 mins. to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

Tomato sauce

Combine the tomatoes with the oil, basil and garlic, season.

Pizzas

Divide the dough into 4 portions, shape into balls, flatten gently by hand. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough into circles to create thin flatbreads (approx. 20 cm in diameter). Brush both sides of the flatbreads with oil.

Charcoal/gas/electric grill

Cover and grill 2 flatbreads at a time over/on a high heat (approx. 220°C) for approx. 4 mins. Turn the flatbreads, spread ¼ of the tomato sauce over each, grill for a further 4 mins. Cover each of the hot pizzas with ¼ of the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil, season.
