Preparation |

Dough |

In a bowl dissolve yeast in warm water and mix in sugar, let proof for 10 mins and frothy. Mix in salt, olive oil, flour and mix together with your hands.  Knead for 8 minutes until smooth then place in oiled bowl and cover with a damp paper towels. Set aside and let double, knock down and let double again. In a small bowl combine the olive oil and minced garlic and let marinate.

Sauce |

About 2 hours before lighting grill and making the pizza, put all the ingredients into sauce pan and simmer, stirring occasionally.

Pizza |

Separate dough into 2 balls and roll out on a floured wax paper surface, about 9" x 14". Brush olive oil and minced garlic marinade on both sides of dough.  When grill is ready, place all the coals on one side.  Place dough on hot side of grill until the dough lightly browns, about 1 minute, flip and brown the other side of the dough. Take the browned crusts inside and assemble pizza beginning at the bottom in this order: sauce, pepperoni, italian sausage, bell peppers, onions, mozzarella, Italian blend cheese and oregano crushed with your fingertips to open up the spice. Place assembled pizza on the cool side of the grill for indirect grilling, close grill lid and cook until cheese melts, about 7 - 10 minutes.

Salad |

Divide the mixed field greens, slice the cherry tomatoes in half, add the left over bell peppers, onions and Italian Blend Cheese, sprinkle the top of salad with a small amount of sugar and add dressing.
