a separate bowl, mix flours together. Add yeast mixture to flours and stir
with a wooden spoon until dough forms. Divide dough into 8 portions. (Freeze
any unused dough.) Using hands, roll dough into balls, coat fully with
cooking spray and set aside. Prepare a charcoal, gas or stovetop grill.

gas or charcoal, several minutes for stovetop grill), flip crust with a
spatula; move to the coolest part of the grill. Top according to
the recipes above.
