Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg ready to bake pizza dough See Notes
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Remove dough from refrigerator one hour before cooking
  • Follow instructions on package to roll out pizza dough or stretch by hand. I prefer to roll the dough out as thin as possible as it bubbles up and thickens with grilling. I often roll so thin that it begins to get holes, to which I patch with other pieces of dough. The thickness of the dough is truly your preference
  • Preheat Grill to 400 degrees
  • Oil grill grates with olive oil. I complete this scrunching up a paper towel between grilling tongs & coating the paper towel with oil. Rub onto grates.
  • Before placing the dough on the grates, lower the heat to medium in an effort to maintain the heat of 400°. With care, place the dough on the grill & close the lid. Cook Dough for 3-5 minutes. Watch dough closely, it will begin to bubble up but seeing that the underside is slightly browned will indicate it's done.
  • Remove dough from grill, grilled side facing up. On the grilled side of dough, top with pizza toppings.
  • Place the pizza back on the grill. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. It is important to watch closely. It's necessary to move the dough around the grill every minute or two to prevent burning while allowing the toppings time to cook.
    Remove & Enjoy.

Notes

I do not recommend dry mix pizza doughs for this recipe. I use the Trader Joe's or Whole Foods Ready to Bake Pizza Dough's found in the refrigerated section.
