Grilled Pizza

One of our fave traditions of summer! We picked it up from Scott's family and his mom even made this handy "How To" webpage with step by step instructions and pictures too! That's what's on the menu for tonight!

It's hard to itemize a "recipe" - the more important part is the execution. The best way to do it is to have a helper - it's a perfect dinner to make as a couple or with another couple.

Grilled Pizza
Ingredients (for each pizza)
1 ball of dough - I really like using Trader Joe's - either the herby garlic or just plain. You can sometimes get dough from pizza shops as well... :) Or, oh yeah, you can make your own!
Cheese
Sauce
Toppings - I like to stick to basics in the topping department, but we have made a killer buffalo/ranch chicken pizza.

Directions:
Roll out the dough and brush with olive oil liberally. Place on a greased cookie sheet and take out to the grill. With a helper, put it on the grill. When the first side is toasted a little, take off the grill and place grilled side down on cookie sheet. Take inside and brush uncooked side w/ oil. THEN flip it over and place toppings on the grilled side. Put it back out on the grill for a little until the toppings are melted.

I have also found it's usually best to make two... so you get lots of leftovers :)
