Ingredients: For the pizza dough; 300ml warm water; 4 tsp dry yeast; 1 tbsp honey; 3 tbsp good olive oil, plus extra for oiling bowl; 600g plain flour, plus extra for kneading; 2 tsp salt; Cornmeal; For the toppings (select 8); 1 red onion, thinly sliced; 500g fresh mozzarella, grated; 250g Italian Fontina, grated; 250g mild goat cheese, sliced; 1 red or yellow pepper, cored, seeded, and sliced; 125g prosciutto, thinly sliced; 1 bunch rocket, cleaned and dried; 6 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced; 4 pork or turkey sausages, cooked and sliced; 1 bunch basil leaves, cleaned and dried; 4 garlic cloves, roasted; Crushed red chilli flakes; 125ml good olive oil

For the pizza dough:
1) Combine the water, yeast, honey and olive oil in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add 450g of the flour, then the salt, and mix. While mixing, add the remaining flour, or enough to make a soft dough. Knead the dough on low to medium speed for about 10 minutes until smooth, sprinkling it with flour, if necessary, to keep it from sticking to the bowl.

2) When the dough is ready, turn it out onto a floured board and knead by hand a dozen times. It should be smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl and turn it several times to cover it lightly with oil. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3) Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and roll each one into a smooth ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet and cover them with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. Use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

4) If you've chilled the dough, take it out of the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes ahead to let it come to room temperature. Roll and stretch each ball into a rough 20cm circle and place them on baking sheets sprinkled with cornmeal. (You will be able to fit 2 pizzas on each 46 x 33cm baking sheet.)

For the pizza:
1) Preheat your griddle and wait until it's hot. Place the pizzas directly onto the griddle and cook on 1 side for 1 minute. Turn the pizzas over and brush with olive oil or garlic oil.

2) Top the pizzas with any selection of the toppings you wish, piling them high. Drizzle each pizza with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Put the lid on your grill and cook for 5 minutes more, until the crust is crisp and the toppings are cooked.
