Grilled Pizza

This was my first attempt to make grilled pizza. It turned out amazing. 

Grilling the pizza dough gave it that crisp "brick oven" flavor.

    

 

Grilled Chicken Pizza

I use Mark Bittman's pizza dough recipe from his cookbook "How to Cook Everything"
 

Homemade pizza dough and toppings all ready:

Cut up grilled chicken

Chopped green & red peppers

Sliced black olives

Chopped red onion

Pepperoni

 

First I preheated the grill on high

 

Then I turned down the heat to med-high and wiped the grates with a paper towel dipped in olive oil.

 



 

Then I slid the pizza dough onto the hot grill, shut the lid and allowed it to cook for 2 minutes.

 

After the bottom looked done, I took it off the grill and flipped it over on a pizza pan.

 

Then I took it inside and topped it:

 

First, a drizzle of olive oil spread around,

then pizza sauce.

 

Next, cheese

 

Then the rest of the toppings

 

Then, I lowered the heat on the grill to med-low and cooked it another few minutes until the cheese & toppings were cooked.

 

My pizza dough recipe makes two pizzas, so here is my other pizza crust.

I made it a little thicker than the first one and it came out perfect.

Then I repeated the same steps as the first pizza: flipped it over, rubbed with olive oil and topped with sauce, cheese and toppings.

Then back on the grill until done.



 

Delicious grilled chicken pizza that tasted absolutely amazing.
