I love traditional thin crust pizza - and I think I have finally gotten John to buy in on them too. Yeah, I am good ;) Since we do not have a humango brick oven to cook those pizzas in, I decided a while back to try and use the grill. Well, it worked. You get the awesome crisp thin crust with a little bit of char. Soooo good!
These are super easy to make - and guess what? The only clean up really is the dish you eat on and a cutting board! Now that's my kind of meal.
- 1 refrigerated thin crust pizza dough (makes 3 to 4 individual sized pizzas)
- Olive oil to brush on the crust so it doesn't stick
- Sprinkle of garlic salt or Italian seasoning
- Toppings
Light your bbq grill and heat to medium. In the meantime, get your refrigerated dough out of the package. Layout and cut into 3-4 small manageable pieces. Brush each side with olive oil and season with garlic salt or Italian seasoning. Place dough directly on the grill. Grill until the first side just turns brown. At this point, take your dough off the grill and top the grilled side with your favorite toppings. Take your pizza back out and put on the top rack. Now you are going to get the ungrilled side nice and brown. Grill for about 3-5 minutes more until your cheese is melted - make sure you watch it carefully because the dough can burn in an instant.
I made my pizzas with fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, crispy pancetta, and an arugula, balsamic, and fresh tomato salad. I have never tried to make these with any sort of sauce because John and I don't love sauce - so I am not sure how that would turn out. Anyway - these are fun to make and you could have a fun pizza part with all sorts of different toppings.
Enjoy! Oh and since it is Friday night and all - have a GREAT weekend!
