Ingredients
- Pizza dough
- Olive oil
- Tomato sauce
- Fresh mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Prepare your grill by preheating it to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F). Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Take your pizza dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Let the dough rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes to make it easier to stretch.
- Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and gently stretch each dough portion into a thin, rustic oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush both sides of each pizza dough with olive oil.
- Carefully transfer the stretched dough directly onto the preheated grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom develops nice grill marks and starts to bubble.
- Using tongs, flip the dough to the other side. Quickly spread a thin layer of tomato sauce, leaving a small border around the edges. Tear fresh mozzarella into pieces and distribute evenly.
- Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the bottom of the pizza is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pizzas from the grill and immediately garnish with fresh basil leaves. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Let the pizzas cool for a minute, then slice and serve hot. Enjoy your grilled pizzas with family and friends!
Tips
- Temperature is key: Ensure your grill is consistently between 400-450°F for the perfect crust.
- Don't rush the dough: Let it rest at room temperature to make stretching easier.
- Oil is your friend: Brush dough generously to prevent sticking and achieve beautiful grill marks.
- Work quickly when adding toppings to prevent burning.
- Use fresh ingredients like just-picked basil and high-quality mozzarella for maximum flavor.
- Have all ingredients prepped and ready before you start grilling.
- Keep a close eye on the pizza – grilling happens fast!
- Let pizzas rest briefly after grilling to allow cheese to set and flavors to meld.
