Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (premade or homemade, approximately 12 ounces) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices Canadian bacon
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a gas grill, make sure the grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
Dust a flat surface with cornmeal. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and brush one side lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Carefully place the oiled side of the dough onto the grill. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned and grill marks form.
Using tongs, flip the dough over. Brush the grilled side with the remaining olive oil.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cooked side of the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Evenly distribute the Canadian bacon slices and red onion across the pizza.
Season the pizza with salt and black pepper. Close the grill lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully transfer the pizza from the grill to a cutting board. Top with fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Let the pizza cool for 2 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!
