Follow The Directions

01

Step

0 mins

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. (5 minutes)

02

Step

1 hrs

Place pizza dough in a bowl to rise 2 to 3 times the original size, about 1 hour. Flour a work surface and a rolling pin. Divide dough in half; roll each half to a 10- to 12-inch diameter circle. (65 minutes)

03

Step

5 mins

Place pizza dough rounds on the preheated grill using a wooden paddle (pizza peel) and close lid; cook until grill marks appear on the bottom of each round, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from grill and flip over on a work surface. Lower grill heat to medium. (5 minutes)

04

Step

0 mins

Brush each round with olive oil. Spread half the Asiago cheese on each crust; add tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)

05

Step

10 mins

Transfer pizzas to grill with wooden paddle and close lid. Cook until bottom of rounds is cooked with grill marks and cheese is melted, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. (15 minutes)

For best results, use a pizza stone on the grill to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Consider adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze after grilling for a touch of sweetness and acidity.
Be mindful of the grill's heat; adjust as needed to prevent burning the crust.
Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a noticeable difference in the final flavor.
