We’ve been grilling a ton because the weather is so nice so tried our hand at grilling pizza last week. Oh my goodness, how have we not tried this before??? We loved it!
I topped mine with Canadian bacon, grilled sweet onions & fresh basil. Hubby had plain old pepperoni… how uncreative! I can’t wait to try out all sorts of topping combinations in the future… the grilled topping ideas are endless!
How to Grill Pizza
(Using a gas grill)
1 recipe pizza dough, divided into 4
Olive oil
pizza toppings as desired
After dough has risen, punch down and divide into 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll each crust thin (6-7″ diameter, or larger if desired).
Preheat grill burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate. Prepare all toppings and have nearby grill.
Lightly brush crusts with olive oil. Carefully flip dough rounds, oiled sides down, with your hands onto middle of lightly oiled grill rack and brush top of each with oil. Grill crusts, uncovered, until undersides are golden brown , 2 to 3 minutes on gas grill.
Flip crusts over. Top with tomato sauce, cheese and other toppings as desired. Cover with grill lid until undersides are golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes.
