Instructions
Get your fire started! Or fire up your grill if you don't want to actually do it over a literal wood-burning fire. Note: If you use an actual bonfire, make sure you have a grate with spaces no wider than about an inch apart. There is less control over a bonfire, but it's way more fun! Just make sure your fire is rolling on steadily, but the flames won't entirely engulf the pizza when it's placed on the grate.
Dissolve yeast in a small amount of warm water and your sugar and allow to activate (after a few minutes, it should become a little foamy or creamy)
In a large bowl, combine all of the crust ingredients, including your activated yeast and begin to kneed until a smooth, homogeneous dough forms. Don't over-kneed the dough, we don't want a chewy, tough crust!
Cut your dough in half or thirds, and begin forming your crust on a lightly floured surface. Roll, pat, and gently stretch the dough until it reaches about 1/4 inch thickness
Lightly oil your crust and transfer directly onto your preheated grates!
Allow the crust to bubble and develop a small amount of char for about 2 minutes. Keep a close eye on the crust because it will cook up quickly!
Flip crust over and allow the other side to cook as well.
Remove from heat, add your toppings, and return to the fire to allow your cheese and topping to warm and become melty
