Pizza on the Grill

We are leaving for vacation on Monday, so I won't be posting until the following week, so I thought I'd leave you with a few posts of pictures of what we've been up to.

Last Friday night, we made pizzas on the grill, or POGS as my Dad likes to call them.  I used this recipe for the dough- it was one of those where you mix the ingredients (I did proof the yeast first), let the dough rise for an hour and then punch it down and then let it rise for another hour... time consuming, but SO SO SO worth it. 

I split the dough in half and rolled it out, brushed it with olive oil mixed with minced garlic and Grant pretty much threw it on the grill:

It puffed up pretty quickly... here's my handsome grillmaster about to remove it so I can put on the toppings (you only want to grill one side at first, and then put the toppings on the grilled side): 

We did one pizza with pepperoni, red onion and cheese, and and another with tomato & basil (from our garden!!), red onion & goat cheese. I also brushed it with more olive oil & garlic... why not?? :) Do you see the grill marks on that dough? YUM. 

After you put on your toppings, turn the heat down on the grill and let it cook until the other side of the crust is done.  It would have been nice to eat on the deck but the it was so hot out my cheese was starting to melt in the bag as I was putting on the pizza toppings... fall, I am ALMOST ready for you.  Anyways, here are our pizzas: 

Make grilled pizza before grilling season is over.  We will definitely make it again, so if you want to join us, let me know :-)
