🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, let's get that grill screaming hot! Aim for around 500-600°F (260-315°C). It's gotta be hot enough to give the crust that amazing char we're after. If you're using a charcoal grill, arrange the coals for even heat distribution. Propane grill? Crank it up!
- While the grill is preheating, stretch your pizza dough. If you bought pre-made dough, give it some time to warm up a bit; this’ll make it easier to work with. On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch and shape the dough into a round or oval. Don't worry about perfection – rustic is beautiful!
- Now, lightly brush one side of the stretched dough with olive oil. This will help prevent sticking and give it a lovely crispness. Carefully transfer the dough, oiled-side down, onto the preheated pizza stone on the grill. Close the grill lid and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly charred and firm enough to handle.
- Using a pizza peel or a large spatula, carefully flip the dough. Now, quickly brush the top side with olive oil too. This is where the magic happens! Spread your tomato sauce evenly over the grilled side, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle generously with shredded mozzarella cheese, then add your favorite toppings. Consider sliced pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, or anything your heart desires! Get creative!
- Close the grill lid again and let the pizza cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned, and the toppings are heated through. Keep a close eye on it, because the grill can be unforgiving!
- Once it's done, use the pizza peel to carefully remove the pizza from the grill. Transfer it to a cutting board and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing. This prevents the cheese and toppings from sliding off.
- Now, slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if you're feeling fancy. Enjoy the amazing flavors of your homemade Birthday Bonfire Pizza!
