Pizza Margherita

Grilled Pizza Margherita

August 9, 2016

The most classic pizza sporting the colors of the Italian flag and named for Italy's Queen Margherita. Preparing this on a grill adds a smoky char to the already delicious simplicity. Don't worry about getting them perfectly round, as the rough shape will just add to its visual appearl. Make sure to let the dough completely set on the first side before flipping it over to dress with tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella!

Makes 4 pizzas

INGREDIENTS

Pizza Dough (store bought will do) - enough for four 9-10" pizzas
1 cup Classic Tomato Sauce or Taste #5 Bomba!XXX Tomato paste
8 ounces of fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
24 fresh basil leaves
flaky salt

METHOD

Preheat a grill for indirect heat.

Using your lightly-floured hands or a rolling pin, stretch or roll out four 9- to 10-inch rounds. They do not need to be perfectly round.

Carefully lay one pizza over the hottest part of the grill.
Cook for about 2 minutes until bottom is lightly browned.

Using tongs, gently lift up the pizza and flip it over.
Cook for just 30 seconds.
Remove to a baking sheet with the less cooked side up.
Repeat with the remaining 4 rounds of dough.

Allow all to cool for 10 10-15 minutes.

Using a ladle, pour 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce. Use the ladle to spread the sauce roughly across the dough to within 1/2-inch of the edges.
Evenly distribute the mozzarella across the pizzas.

Cook pizza one at a time on the cooler side of the grill until bottoms are crisp and the mozzarella has melted.

Remove pizza and drizzle a little olive oil over the pizza and strew the basil leaves over each pizza. Give a good sprinkle of flaky salt.  Cut and serve hot!
