Ingredients
Method
- Fire up your grill and set up two-zone cooking. For charcoal, pile coals on one side for direct high heat around 450-500°F. For gas, heat one side to medium-high and leave the other side on low. Clean and oil your grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Divide pizza dough into 4 equal portions. On a floured surface, stretch each portion into a thin oval about 8-10 inches long. Brush both sides with olive oil and let dough come to room temperature while the grill heats up.
- Place dough directly over the hot zone of your grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom develops beautiful char marks and the top starts to bubble. Use your pizza peel to flip the dough - this takes practice but the char is worth it.
- Move the grilled side up to the cooler zone of your grill. Working quickly, brush the cooked side with a thin layer of pizza sauce, then add cheese and your favorite toppings. Keep toppings light to ensure even cooking.
- Close the grill lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the bottom crust is crispy. Check frequently to prevent burning - if the bottom is cooking too fast, move to an even cooler spot or reduce heat.
- Remove pizza from grill using your peel or large spatula. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing to allow cheese to set. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately while the crust is still crispy.
