My parents got Adam and I an early birthday gift last week- a new grill! Unfortunately due to our busy schedules, I didn't get to play with the new grill until today. When creating our menu this week, I wanted to use the grill every night! The first thing I thought to make was grilled pizza. Adam looked at me like I was nuts.... suggesting burgers or steak. I wanted to try the nontraditional route first. With a little help from
Annie's Eats Blog I was ready to test it out! The great thing about grilling pizza is, it takes 1/2 the time to cook....so our growling tummies didn't have to wait too long to bite into this deliciousness. I bought fresh dough at Publix, but you could create your own if you want.
First I sprayed the grill with some oil and heated it up. I cut the dough in half so Adam and I could have our own little pizzas. In the future I would do this, I think it was easier to manage 2 small pizzas. Once the grill was heated I put the dough on the oiled rack.
I closed the lid, lowered the heat to medium, and went to prep my toppings. I was probably gone for 4-5 minutes. When I returned, look what I found:
I flipped the pies over onto the unheated side of my grill. If I were using a grill with only one burner I would remove the shells for the next step. Armed with my toppings, I started decorating the pizza shells and then moved them over to the hot side for another 5 minutes.
Adam wanted a traditional cheese (I use Prego's traditional sauce as pizza sauce, it's way yummy!) and I made an olive oil/garlic/Italian seasoning with mozzarella, parmesan, romano cheeses with fresh tomatoes. Yum!
Here is the end result:
Needless to say, we BOTH loved my creation! As usual Adam acted like it was his great idea.
