Dinner at my house gets to be a battle between gourmet and something 3 small children will eat. One menu choice we all can agree on is a grilled pizza and a salad (at least for me anyway).
My husband also prefers his pizza this way. I thought I would share how I like to grill a pizza. (Not an exact science, but you'll get the idea.)
Get some pizza dough. I suppose you could make your own, but I just get a ball of it from my neighborhood grocery. I like to let it sit out all day if I can. It rises much better.
Spread it out into a pizza crust shape. I usually end up pulling on the dough and letting it hang from my hands to stretch it out.
Preheat your grill on high for at least 5 minutes. Once this is done, put the pizza dough on and turn it to low. After about 3 to 4 minutes, flip the dough over with BBQ tongs. It should flip over firmly. If it still wants to "stretch", it needs a little more time.
I brush the freshly grilled side with olive oil and a couple of cloves of crushed garlic. Then, I add an assortment of cheeses, usually white cheeses like parm, mozzarella and asiago. I let the cheese melt about 3 minutes, then I add on my other toppings. This night, I just did some roma tomatoes. I let the pizza grill another 3 to 4 minutes.
Pull off your pizza (you can check the underside to see if it's done) and add fresh herbs to your liking. We're not red sauce fans in this house, but I serve it on the side for dipping if anyone wants it.
I usually do this recipe in this house a couple of times a month. Enjoy!
