How to Grill Pizza
Learn how to make pizza on the grill. My recipe is for a pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and fresh basil.
Servings 3 pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 recipe pizza dough divided into 3 small to medium pizzas
- 1 ½ cups tomato sauce homemade if possible
- 1 lb freshly grated mozzarella cheese
- 20-30 slices pepperoni
- 2 large sausages, cooked and sliced
- 12 leaves fresh basil chopped
- olive oil for brushing on the dough
Instructions
- Divide your pizza dough into 3 pizzas. Roll them into a ball. Cover the dough with a towel and allow it 45 minutes to rise.
- Heat up your grill to medium heat, around 375-425 degrees.
- Roll out each dough out into a circle. Place on a floured pizza peel or floured cutting board.
- Brush with oil. Place the dough flat onto the grill. Close the gril. Cook for 2-4 minutes or until grill marks have formed on the bottom of the dough. Brush the top of the dough with oil and then flip over.
- Work fast - ladle your sauce on top, add ⅓ of the cheese, sausage, and basil and pepperoni. Close the grill as soon as your done.
- Allow to cook for another 2-4 minutes until the cheese has melted and the bottom has grill marks. Repeat steps for the remaining pizzas.
- If you have enough room on your grill you can cook more than 1 pizza at a time.
Notes
Recipe is easy to double or triple to make 6 to 9 pizzas.
