Ingredients
- 1 Pound Pizza Dough store bought or homemade
- 1 cup Pizza Sauce
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
- 4 ounces sliced pepperoni
- Fresh basil leaves chopped (optional)
- Flour for dusting
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Any additional pizza toppings you want!
Instructions
- Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 450 degrees F).
- Roll the dough into a 12 inch circle with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface.
- Use a fork to poke holes all over the center of the pizza dough to keep it from bubbling in the oven.
- Rub the grill grates with the olive oil so that the dough doesn’t stick to the grill.
- Use a floured baking sheet to place the pizza dough directly on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned.
- Flip the pizza dough so that the grilled side is up.
- Spread pizza sauce onto the pizza crust (grilled side).
- Top with the sliced mozzarella cheese and pepperoni.
- Close the lid on the grill and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is browned. If the crust browns too quickly, reduce the temperature on the grill.
- Carefully remove the pizza from the grill. Let the pizza sit for 5-10 minutes.
- Top with the fresh chopped basil leaves. Slice, serve and enjoy!
Notes
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
