Make pizza dough... or a new trick we learned at an italian cooking class this last weekend... buy dough at a local pizza shop or at whole foods. for northern colorado - pulcinelli's is awesome and its 3 bucks for a large dough. not bad for the time saved. lindsay - i know that wouldn't happen with you or your fam ;o)
Okay, you have the dough. split the dough into two or 3. roll out into a rough round shape. in the meantime, preheat the grill on high. place pizza dough on a rimless baking sheet covered with coarse cornmeal. make sure the dough doesn't stick to the pan anywhere so that when you go to slide it on to the grill... it goes on smooth. turn the grill down to low right before putting the pizza on. drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper on the top of the crust. when the pizza is stiff, turn it with tongs. olive oil, salt and pepper the cooked side. top with pesto and cheese (or the toppings of choice). close the lid and cook until dough is cooked and toppings are warm/melted.
so the big tip?! preheat grill to high... but always cook on low to medium!
the pesto one was 1/2 of the large dough at pulcinelli's... the canadian bacon/pineapple one is a full large dough.
man! I want to grill pizza SO bad! The canadian bacon/pineapple one looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteActually, Amy, just a couple weeks ago we grilled pizza with pre-made dough! Gasp! I've been wanting to try the dough from Fresh & Easy because I've heard great things about it. They have whole wheat, plain, and Rosemary and Thyme. Large dough for $1.49 and YUMMY! THANK YOU for the grilling tips, cause we've been winging it!
