Grilled Margherita Pizza
by Mimi & Vera Levin, Tastemakers in Residence
I like to fire up the grill for Summer! Father's Day is the perfect time to treat Dad to a homemade BBQ pizza!
Ingredients
1 lb of pizza dough
1 cup tomato sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tomato, thinly sliced
1 container Basil
Instructions
- Turn the grill on and spray to prevent pizza from sticking
- Roll pizza dough into a thin, circular shape
- Brush bottom side of pizza dough with olive oil (this will be the side that lies face-down on the grill)
- Once the grill is hot, place the side of the dough covered in olive oil face down on the grill, and cook for 3 minutes with the top of the grill open
- Take the dough off the grill, and immediately top the side that was lying face down on the grill with sauce, mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced tomato, and basil
- Put the pizza back on the grill, close the grill top, and cook for 4 minutes
