I had never heard of grilled pizza until this spring when I began to read about it on friends’ blogs. I was a little unsure about this technique of cooking until I was challenged by MyBlogSpark and General Mills to make one myself using Pillsbury Pizza Crust. Not only does cooking the pizza on the grill give the crust a crisper texture, but it’s quick too! I was able to put together a Magherita Pizza in fifteen minutes from start to finish and it tasted great. The recipe is so simple and allows us to make a gourmet pizza at home.
- 1 Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes, sliced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or less to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup premium Margherita pasta sauce
- 12 large fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- Spread pizza dough on a piece of aluminum foil sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Brush dough with Olive Oil and top with pasta sauce. Spread minced garlic evenly over pizza and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Space sliced tomatoes over the pizza and add salt and pepper to taste. Top with shredded basil leaves and Mozzarella cheese. Place aluminum foil carefully on grill. Place cover on grill and let bake for five to eight minutes, checking occasionally to make sure pizza crust is not burning. Remove from grill, slice and serve.
I do have a couple of tips for making the pizza:
Be sure to place the pizza on a piece of aluminum foil coated with nonstick cooking spray for easy removal
Be sure the dough is the same thickness or it will cook at different rates and some of the bottom will burn
