Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, sliced vegetables, fresh basil)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 450–500°F). Ensure the grates are clean to prevent the dough from sticking.
Lightly flour your work surface with 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a thin round or rectangle, roughly 12 inches in diameter.
Brush one side of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent it from sticking to the grill.
Carefully place the dough (oil-side down) onto the hot grill. Close the lid and let it cook for about 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom has grill marks and is firm enough to flip. Use tongs or a wide spatula to flip the dough over.
Brush the cooked side of the dough with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce. Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, sliced vegetables, or fresh basil.
Close the grill lid and cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bottom of the crust is golden and crisp.
Carefully remove the pizza from the grill using tongs or a large spatula. Let it cool for 1–2 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve your grilled pizza immediately. Enjoy!
