The first time I tried grilling pizza was when we were in Toronto visiting my family.? It was something we had all wanted to try but had just never gotten around to doing it. So out I went and bought some grocery store pizza dough (divide it into 4 servings when you get it home) and some fresh and yummy toppings and into the world of pizza grilling we dove! Mine was simply olive oil, fresh garlic, mozzarella, fresh tomato and basil… Our biggest concern was that the dough would drip through the grill plates but it cooks up so quickly that there is no real worry to it.? You need to have your grill heated up to about 350F to crisp it quickly. The trick, I think, to this is to have all of your toppings ready to go on and to not overload the pizza.? You do need to work fast once the bottom which becomes the top is grilled nice and crispy.? We did individual ones for ease of preparation and they worked perfect.? No problem flipping etc… The second time we made them was here at home and I used my bread machine pizza dough recipe .? We divided this one into 4 to make 4 individual pizzas for us.? This worked perfectly as well and was a bit easier to stretch and shape then the grocery store one… This one was topped with garlic and herbed olive oil, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano and some homemade arugula pesto …simply delicious!
