A Surprise for the Grill

I love to make home made pizza. It’s so much fun to get creative on everything from the type of crust, to the toppings. Plus, knowing everything that has gone into your meal, no crazy ingredients, no shifty people touching your food, just makes you rest easier.

During the summer months, we started grilling our pizza. It was a nice alternative to the hamburger, plus it gives it an incredible smokey flavor. Last night as the temperatures are beginning to drop, we were wanting to take advantage of our grill as much as possible, so we made this simple grilled pizza.

Just buy pizza dough from the grocery store. {or you can make it on your own…I seem to be completely unable to master the art of getting dough to rise, so I have just stopped trying} Coat one side with olive oil, and place that side down on the heated grill. Let the dough firm up for 3-5 minutes. As it does this, coat the upside with olive oil as well. Flip the dough. Quickly apply your sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings. Close the grill and just wait for the cheese to melt and the crust to get “crusty”.
