Homemade Grilled Pizza

Yes, I really made that pizza.

This past weekend we decided to make homemade grilled pizza. Yum!

You should prep all of your toppings, including pizza sauce or pesto, veggies, and meat (which should be pre-cooked before applying to your pizza)

Using Betty Crocker Pizza Crust roll it out at about an 1/8 inch (It will be thinner than you think you should). Oil one side of your pizza crust. (You could also substitute making your own pizza crusts with tortillas, pitas, or pre-made pizza crusts)

If you are using a gas grill, set it to 600°

You'll want to "smack" your pizza dough on to the grill, oil side down, so that it lays flat on the grill.
While on the grill, oil the top of your pizza dough.
Close grill lid for 1 minute 30 seconds (1:30) this will get your pizza crust bubbly on top and crunchy on the bottom.

Using tongs and your pizza peel, flip the crust over, and quickly add any of your toppings while your pizza crust is still on the grill. (While I prefer applying the toppings while the crust is still on the grill, you can also remove it and apply the toppings off the grill).
