Method

Prepare the Dough

  • Step 1

    In a bowl, mix together 1 ¾ cups of bread flour, sugar, instant dry yeast, and kosher salt.

  • Step 2

    While mixing, gradually add in water and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Knead for 5-10 minutes until combined. Add more flour as needed.

  • Step 3

    Oil a large bowl and add the kneaded dough. Cover and let rise until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.

Marinate the Chicken

  • Step 1

    In a bowl, mix together Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce, brown sugar, garlic, mirin, rice vinegar, black pepper, and grated ginger.

  • Step 2

    Submerge chicken thighs in the marinade. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze

  • Step 1

    In a pan, mix together Kikkoman® Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce, water, mirin, brown sugar, and rice vinegar.

  • Step 2

    Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.

  • Step 3

    Once thickened, stir in sesame seeds and remove from heat. The glaze will thicken more as it cools.

Grill the Dough

  • Step 1

    Preheat a grill to 400°F.

  • Step 2

    Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down to deflate. Lightly flour a pizza peel or a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and gently stretch out the dough into a 12-inch circle.

  • Step 3

    Drizzle the side facing up with olive oil and place the oiled side on the grill. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes or until golden and brown. Remove from the grill and set aside.

Grill the Chicken

  • Step 1

    Add the marinated chicken thighs to the hot grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes on one side until slightly caramelized. Flip and finish grilling on the other side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  • Step 2

    Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes. Once rested, cube the chicken.

  • Step 3

    In a pan over medium heat, add half of the teriyaki glaze and the cubed chicken. Toss to combine.

Assemble the Pizza

  • Step 1

    Add teriyaki glaze to the grilled side of the pizza dough, top with mozzarella cheese, teriyaki chicken, and more cheese.

  • Step 2

    Return to the grill, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the pizza crust is crispy.

  • Step 3

    Top with grilled pineapple slices, sliced scallions, and more teriyaki glaze.
