Grilled Caprese Pizza

A quick and easy dinner that brings that “wood-fired” pizza taste right to your backyard. Grilled Pizza is a game changer for week-night dinner. Use a pre-made dough, add a few toppings, kill the heat, and let the cheese melt. Ditch the take-out option tonight; dinner will be on the table in 10 minutes or less. Let’s dig in.

Instructions

1. 01

   Preheat Char-Griller to high heat. Scrape and oil your grates well so the dough does not stick.

2. 02

   Spread 1 tablespoon of oil to one side of the dough, and place oiled side down on heat first. Immediately turn burners to low and let dough cook for 2-3 minutes that side, until dough bubbles up.
