Can you Cook Flatbread Pizza on the Grill?

Yes, cooking flatbread pizza is a quick and easy way to prepare your pizza crust. Make sure to oil the grates and then place the flatbread pizza on the grill that was heated to medium heat. Allow it to heat for about 3 to 5 minutes or until grill marks appear on the flatbread.

Make sure to not leave it on the grill to long to prevent the flatbread from burning. Remove the flatbread from the grill and add your favorite toppings. Then add back on the grill to melt the cheese.

How to Make Flatbread Pizza on the Grill

• Step 1 – Heat Grill – Preheat grill over medium high heat to approximately 350 degrees F. 
• Step 2 – Oil Grates – Rub the grill grates with olive oil. 

Step 3 – Add flatbreads to grill – Place the Naan flatbreads directly on the grill grates.  Grill for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and you can see grill marks on the flatbread but it’s not burnt. 

Step 4 – Remove from grill – Carefully remove the flatbreads from the grill and place them on a baking sheet with the grilled side up. Place two tablespoons of pizza sauce on each flatbread. 

Step 5 – Add cheese and toppings – Then top with the shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. 

Step 6 – Add back to grill – Place the prepared pizzas back on the grill.  Grill for 3-5 minutes with the lid closed. Grill until the cheese is melted and the bottom of the pizzas are golden brown with grill makers. 

• Step 7 – Remove from grill – Remove the pizzas from the grill. 
• Step 8 – Serve and Enjoy – Let them rest for 5 minutes.  Then they are ready to slice, serve and enjoy. 

How long to Cook Flatbread Pizza on the Grill

Grilling Flatbread Pizzas is a quick and easy dinner idea. We recommend placing the flatbread on the grill before adding toppings. This gives the flatbread the perfect grill marks and a crispy texture on both sides.

After about 3 minutes remove the flatbread and add your favorite toppings. Then place the flatbread back on the grill, close the lid and allow the cheese to melt. In about 5 minutes your pizza will be done and ready to serve.

Cooking process may vary based on what dough you use and the type of grill you have.
