Ingredients:
- 1 pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cornmeal for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat around 450-500F or 230-260C
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness
Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or a flat baking sheet to prevent sticking
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pizza peel or baking sheet
In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic and olive oil
Brush this mixture evenly over the pizza dough as the base
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated grill grates, close the lid, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly
Be sure to check the bottom of the crust to avoid burning
Once the pizza is cooked to your liking, remove it from the grill using the pizza peel or a large spatula
Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the hot pizza
Drizzle a bit of extra-virgin olive oil over the top, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot
