The Perfect Big Green Egg Pizza Recipe

 

First of all, any great pizza in my opinion starts with the sauce. It’s early September here in Maine and the tomatoes are in full bloom – if you can pick your own, amazing. Otherwise please try and source your fresh tomatoes from your local farmer’s market to make sure they are organic and seasonal!

Picking tomatoes for the The Big Green Egg Pizza recipe

 

What you need for the sauce:

 

About two cups of fresh tomatoes

1 medium onion

2 large cloves of garlic

Handful each of fresh Oregano, Parsley and Basil 

Red Wine (an optional dash!)

A pinch of sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

 

 

Instructions:

 

Ideally, grab everything you need from the garden! Start with sautéing the diced onion for about 5 minutes on a medium heat. Throw in the garlic and saute for another 2 minutes, add in the wine and cook off if you are using. Add in your tomatoes, sugar and cook for 20 minutes on a low heat. Throw in your fresh herbs and use a blender to make the sauce a bit finer.

We use a local organic pizza dough, but you could absolutely make your own! We use this incredible, Maine grown grains, sourdough base: https://www.instagram.com/thegoodcrust.maine

To assemble the pizza, we do a light layer of the homemade sauce, and then finish with fresh mozzarella. I use Maplebrook as they are local to us and do everything by hand using small farms: https://www.instagram.com/maplebrookfarm/

 

 

 

Grilling pizza on the Big Green Egg outdoor grill

Awesome pizza recipe on The Big Green Egg outdoor grill

 

Grilling:

 

It just takes some kneading, a bit of flour to keep things loose, and a nice pizza peel. TBig Green Egg have the most amazing pizza stones that you can place right on the grill. 

Get your Big Green Egg up to about 400 degrees, then simply slide our pre-rolled and assembled pizza onto the stone from the pizza wedge for baking in the Egg.

Cover and use the BGE Pizza Oven Wedges to let the air in. Cook for 12-15 minutes, take off and let cool for 5 minutes. You should have the perfect hard bottom and soft top crust!

To finish, we used more fresh basil from the garden. A perfect late summer, meat free option!
