Jessica here from Carefree Mermaid – Travels & Culinary Tales. Today I’m stepping out of my kitchen and soaking up the sun while I make dinner on the grill! This Easy Grilled Pizza is perfect for dinner or an appetizer. It’s made with homemade dough, and grilled for extra flavor, then it’s topped with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Cooking pizza on the grill takes less than fifteen minutes and it’s perfect for warmer weather. This pizza channels its inner Caprese! To make it, you will need: pizza dough, tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella, and pizza sauce. I’m making a homemade dough, which is really easy to do.

How to make homemade pizza dough:

To start making your easy grilled pizza, first you’ll want to make your dough.

This easy grilled pizza recipe takes just 15 minutes. Whether you decide to grill a Caprese Pizza or a meatier variety, grilled pizza takes outdoor grilling to a new level. The homemade pizza dough really makes the meal!

In a large bowl, dissolve your yeast in to warm water. Let it sit for about ten minutes or until frothy. Next, mix in your flour, sugar, salt, and olive oil. Mix until dough starts to separate from the bowl. Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth (about 5 minutes). Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp kitchen towel. Set it aside to rise (about an hour). Once your dough has doubled in size, it is ready to cook!

Time to make your grilled Caprese pizza!

Prepare all of your toppings so that they’re ready to go. Slice your tomatoes and fresh Mozzarella. Dice up your basil. Get your pizza sauce handy and set everything aside.

Heat your grill to a high temperature.

Pour a generous amount of olive oil on a baking sheet. Use this to transport the pizza dough to the grill. Take your dough and separate it into two small sized pizzas right on the baking sheet.

Brush your grill grate with olive oil. Place pizza dough on grill, one at a time.

It should begin to puff. After about four minutes, the bottom should’ve started to brown. Brush the top side of the dough with more olive oil. Flip the pizza dough over using two spatulas.

Add your sauce, mozzarella, and tomatoes. Close the lid and cook for about five  minutes. The underside should be browned and cheese should be melted. Remove from the grill and top it with the basil!
