Recipe: Delicious GRILLED PIZZA

GRILLED PIZZA instructions

1. Pizza is a blank canvas, feel free to use whatever toppings you desire.
2. Shape the pizza dough by flattening it with your hands on a floured cutting board or pizza peel if you have one. Either use your fingers to stretch the dough out, or hold up the edges of the dough with your fingers, letting the dough hang and stretch, while working around the edges of the dough. Once you've stretched the dough, let it sit for 5 minutes and then push out the edges with your fingers again, until you have a nice round shape, about 12 to14 inches in diameter. Do not make a raised rim, it will interfere with the grilling process..
3. Combine olive oil and minced garlic bowl. Using a brush or the back of a large spoon, paint the entire surface of the pizza dough with combined mixture. Drizzle half of the BBQ Sauce onto the pizza. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and evenly disperse toppings..
4. Place a pizza stone the the center of your grill. ( Note: if you do not have a pizza stone you can use a non glazed ceramic tile from your local hardware store, the thicker the better) Pre-heat the grill, get it as hot as you can, some where north of 375. Once the grill is hot (you can hold your hands an inch over the grates for no more than 2 seconds) slide the pizza directly onto the pizza stone (if you floured the surface of the pizza peel or cutting board correctly the pizza will slide right off).
5. If you are using a gas grill, reduce the heat. If working with a charcoal grill, close the vents on the cover almost all the way. Close the lid and cook until the bottom is crisp and the cheese is bubbly..
6. Drizzle the remaining BBQ Sauce on the top of the pizza and pull off the stone with a spatula onto a cutting board or other flat surface and let rest for a couple minutes before cutting into slices..

Carefully slide pizza dough onto the grill. Using tongs, lift dough and check to see if lightly brown. Using tongs and a sheet pan, flip the pizza dough, so it's grilled-side up. Brush pizza crust with olive oil and spread on pizza sauce. To shape and cook the margherita pizza: Heat a gas grill to high and make sure the grill grates are clean and free of debris.
