Grilled White Pizza
I love grilled pizza, and if you haven’t tried it yourself, you are sorely missing out. My hands-down favorite is a version with caramelized onions and warm, melty goat cheese. I first made that recipe some 13 or so years ago, and now that my mouth is watering, that is definitely going to be a topic of another post. But today? Grilled White Pizza. A recipe from an old episode of Boy Meets Grill with Bobby Flay, it’s quick and easy, with the trickiest part was stretching out the dough and getting it onto the grill. Once you get comfortable with the method, mix it up a bit and experiment with different fresh herb combinations to find out what works best for your own palate. Happy grilling!
Grilled White Pizza
1 (8-ounce) ball prepared pizza dough (bought fresh from pizzeria or frozen from market)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Heat grill to high. Roll the dough into 2 (10-inch circles). Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer dough to grill. When bottom side is mostly cooked through, brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle evenly with grated cheese, red pepper flakes, oregano, and salt and pepper. Let cook until dough is cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from grill, garnish with fresh basil, and cut into pieces.
