Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 0.5 cup tomato sauce preferably homemade
- 8 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves optional
- 1 tbsp olive oil for brushing the grill
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to a 12-inch circle.
- Place the dough directly onto the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes until grill marks appear and the bottom is crisp.
- Flip the dough and quickly spread tomato sauce over the grilled side.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Close the grill lid and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the cheese melts and crust is cooked through.
- Remove pizza from the grill, garnish with fresh basil leaves and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
- Slice and serve hot.
Notes
For best results, use fresh dough and serve immediately. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for a crispy crust.
