I learned
the pizza on the grill method from my next door neighbor last summer. It’s
pretty easy and it works! It’s more of a
method or a process than an actual recipe. I have photos to show you want each
step of the way is supposed to look like. Factors such as how thick you roll
out your crust, your grill heat, toppings, etc. make it difficult to be
exact.
Get ready
·
Prep
your ingredients: You’ll need pizza dough and pizza sauce. I typically just buy
the sauce and dough. Pizza is supposed to be easy and buying these two ingredients
saves a lot of time and work. You’ll also
need toppings (meat, vegetables, cheese, etc.) and sauce. Fresh basil and dried oregano are nice to use as a
finishing touch.
·
Heat
your grill to high (we use a gas grill)
·
Heat
oven to broil
Gather your tools
Old baking
sheets are great for transport/baking your pizza and are useful in case you
want to cut pizza on sheet. A pizza peel is also helpful for getting the pizza
on and off the grill - see below for the pizza peel in action.
Start cooking
1) Shape dough using a small amount of
flour. You don't need a rolling pin for this. Just use your fingers to push and pull at it to get it to the desired thickness. As you can see from the photos, we have not yet mastered round pizza - we're working on that.
2) Grill dough on high for a few minutes
on one side only
3) Put toppings onto grilled side of the
dough
4) Take pizza back out to the grill and
grill for 3-5 minutes until the bottom is done - a pizza peel is helpful here (watch it carefully so it does
not burn!)
5) Put pizza in the oven under the
broiler for about 3 minutes to continue to cook/melt the toppings
6) If desired, top with fresh basil and
dried oregano.
7) Slice, eat, enjoy!
