Ingredients

Crust

• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for the crust

Pizza Toppings

• 1/2 cup vegan BBQ sauce plus 2 tablespoons
• 1/2 cup shredded vegan cheese I mixed smoked gouda and provolone
• 1/4 cup red onion slivers
• 1/4 cup diced pineapple
• 1 tablespoon sliced fresh jalapeno
• 1/2 cup cooked brown or black lentils
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Stir sugar into warm water until it dissolves, then add active dry yeast. Set aside to rise for 12-15 minutes.
2. Sift the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Once yeast mixture is ready, pour it into the bowl, along with the olive oil. Knead dough on a surface dusted with flour, for 3 minutes. Place the dough ball in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to roughly 450F.
3. Take the raised dough and knead for another 1-2 minutes. Roll out flat, to about ½” thick; then carefully stretch the dough out with your hands until it is 12 to 14 inches wide.
4. Make sure to leave the dough a little thicker around the edges for a good crust. Place the dough onto a pizza peel or pan that is lightly dusted with flour. 
5. Once grill is hot, carefully tilt pizza pan toward the grill and give it a quick jab. The crust should start to slide off, carefully place the rest flat on the grill. Close grill lid and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until it is puffy and grill marks are vivid.
6. Carefully, remove crust from grill and place it back on pizza pan - grill marks up - it will be fragile. Now, spread 1/2 cup vegan BBQ sauce over pizza crust, leaving 1 inch uncoated, around the edges. Then, top with vegan cheese shreds, red onion, pineapple, and fresh jalapeño. 
7. Combine lentils and 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce in a small bowl, then place scoops of them over the pizza. Lastly, brush the outer edges with olive oil. Again, place pizza on the grill, and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until as crispy as you prefer.
8. Put pizza back on the pan, garnish with fresh cilantro, then slice up to serve!
