Grilled Pesto Pizza

Dough:
2 T Yeast
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Sugar
1 T Olive Oil
1 C Warm Water

Toppings:
Pesto (I buy the basil pesto and sun dried tomato from walmart)
Tomato Slices
Mozzarella Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Basil
Salt
Pepper

Mix together the yeast, water and sugar and let yeast dissolve. Add Oil, Salt, and 3 cups of Flour. Knead the dough for 1 minute and then divide into 8 balls. Roll the dough out and let it rise on the counter for 20 mins. Heat the grill to medium high. Place the dough on the grill and let cook a few minutes until the first side is done. Take the dough off and top cooked side with pesto, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, tomato slices, dried basil, salt and pepper. Return to the grill to cook remaining side. The dough cooks fast so watch it on the grill.


This is seriously one of my favorite grill recipes. It is really quick and tasty plus it is made with stuff I almost always have on hand. You can change up the toppings to whatever you like. If you don't have time to let your dough rise, or don't want to, they work just fine without. I have mixed up the dough, kneaded it for 1 minute, then rolled them out, and threw them on the grill and they still come out good. ENJOY!
