Grilled Margherita Pizza
Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package pizza dough, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 ounces shredded Asiago cheese
  • 3 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup packed whole basil leaves
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your outdoor grill to extremely high heat, ensuring it reaches a scorching temperature. Lightly brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
2
Allow pizza dough to rest in a bowl for approximately 1-2 hours, allowing it to double or triple its original size. Prepare a clean work surface and rolling pin for the next steps.
3
Divide the risen pizza dough into two equal portions. Use a rolling pin to shape each portion into a perfectly round circle, measuring 10-12 inches in diameter.
4
Carefully place the pizza dough circles onto the preheated grill using a sturdy wooden paddle, taking care not to touch the hot grates. Close the lid and let the pizzas cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they develop a nice sear on the bottom.
5
Remove the pizzas from the grill and flip them over onto a clean work surface. Reduce the grill heat to a medium setting.
6
Brush each pizza round with olive oil, taking care not to overdo it. Spread half of the Asiago cheese evenly across each crust, followed by a layer of sliced tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
7
Season the pizzas with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the pizzas back onto the grill using the wooden paddle, ensuring they are aligned properly.
8
Close the lid and let the pizzas cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until they are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove them from the grill and let them stand for 5 minutes before serving.
