Last year we made our first grilled pizza and really loved it. It is a great summer alternative to heating up the oven.

Enter the cast iron skillet.
Drizzle with a little olive oil and press in the pizza dough.
Put the crust without toppings on the grill on medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Remove and add toppings.
Return to the grill until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
This method is so much easier and the results so much more attractive than our previous attempts. We made a few thin crust pizzas and then a Chicago deep dish style just by varying the amount of dough and length of crust grilling time. We didn't have any blackened edges that occur so easily when the dough is placed directly on the grill.
How do you grill your pizza?
Looks divine. I'm pretty sure that the good ol' cast iron skillet is the answer to most of life's problems: security breaches, saggy upper arms, and now, grilled pizza. There is no end to its uses! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe love making grilled pizza! We stretch the dough, put it on the grill until it just begins to puff up, then flip it with a pair of tongs. As soon as I flip it, I start to layer on the toppings - upside down. Veggies and meats first, then cheese, then sauce. Grilled pizza is my absolute favorite. :-)
ReplyDeleteThough I NEVER would've thought to use a cast iron skillet on the grill. Ingenious!
