Pizza on the Grill

One of our weekly summer meals is pizza on the grill. It is SOOO yummy, quick, fun and a good way to avoid heating up the kitchen. I use the Betty Crocker recipe for the pizza dough and a slightly altered version of this sauce recipe (I use a 6 oz can of tomato paste, 1 1/4 c water, and 1/4 c honey).

Here's the grilled pizza process:

1. Mix up the dough

2. While the dough rises, make the pizza sauce, pre heat the grill (to 350-400 (ish)), and prep the toppings (we typically do pepperoni, onions, peppers, cheese - you'll want to have these on a tray that you can take out near the grill so you're ready to throw the toppings on)

3. Roll out the dough, transfer to pizza pan and take everything outside.

4. Grease the grill grate with olive oil, and place pizza dough directly on grill. Allow to cook ~2 min or until grill marks are clear, dough has cooked through.

5. Remove from grill, flipping grilled side up onto pizza pan. Top (on grilled side) with toppings - this should be done as quickly as possible to avoid crust sticking to pan.

6. Put pizza back onto grill, and allow to cook ~4-6 min more or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
