Grilled Pizza
Change up your pizza night with grilled pizza! Grilling pizza dough creates a crisp crust with delicious charred flavor that's still soft and chewy on the inside. Customize with any toppings!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons pizza seasoning or ½ each garlic powder, onion powder & oregano
- 1 cup Tomato sauce store-bought or homemade
- 16 ounces Sliced Mozzarella 1 package
- Toppings of choice fresh basil and crushed red pepper for margherita pizza
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Allow store-bought dough to rise at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Cut the pizza dough into 2 to 8 portions depending on how big and thick you want each pizza. Roll the dough into desired size and thickness and transfer to a parchment paper.
- Brush the olive oil on top of the pizza dough. Lift the pizza dough off the surface with the parchment paper below it and carefully flip it onto the grill, oil side down. Peel the parchment paper off.
- Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes and check for doneness with tongs to see if the bottom side has grill marks and is lightly golden. Flip the pizza(s) onto a plate and add seasoning, sauce, cheese and any toppings to the cooked side.
- Lower the grill heat slightly and slide pizzas back onto the grill to cook the bottom side for another 3-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bottom crust is golden.
- Use tongs to remove the pizza from the grill. Let cool for a few minutes and then slice.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. To reheat, place in the microwave or toaster oven
