Lunie and Mini-me’s Grilled Pizza
An easy and quick way to have pizza on the grill. The bonus is still having pizza on the weekends without heating up your house.
Servings: 1 Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 store bought or Pizzeria bought pizza dough
- ½ cup of pizza sauce more or less, to taste
- ½ cup of shredded pepperoni more or less, to taste
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella more or less, to taste
- You will also need flour for dusting and rolling
- A pizza pan since this is a super thin crust. One with holes is ideal.
Instructions
- Preheat your grill.
- Roll and stretch your dough. Mini-me’s technique is to roll, then press with her hands, then hand stretch and throw. Do this until it’s thin enough to see through but it should not split or tear.
- Spray your pizza pan with non stick spray. Lay the dough on the pan.
- Spread with pizza sauce.
- Sprinkle cheese over top.
- Sprinkle pepperoni over top.
- Reduce heat of the grill to a medium heat.
- Place pan in the centre of the grill.
- Allow to cook for 5 to 10 minutes, the bottom should be brown but not black, and the top should be golden and pepperoni just starting to turn colour. Remove very carefully with oven mitts after turning off the grill.
- Take inside and place on a cutting board.
- Use a good pizza cutter to cut into slices.
- Serve with an ooey, gooey, melty, cheesy smile!
Notes
The cook time of grills can vary greatly. It depends on the size of your grill, whether it’s propane, charcoal or gas and how well it functions. So always use the bottom number I’ve given as a base number to start checking the food consistently. You need to get to know your grill and how it performs. The key to grilling is paying attention to the texture and look of the food. Do not walk away and ignore the food. Big mistake. But also don’t hover and keep opening the lid every 5 seconds. My best advice is to get to know how it works by grilling often and start small. Learn how to grill simple foods like hot dogs, burgers and veggies. Then you can move on to steak, chicken and even roasts. Do not fear the grill. Embrace it. But not literally cuz that’ll burn! Use your noggins!
