The 1-2-3 Technique for Grilled Pizza

Before I begin, I thought I would clarify two questions you may be asking yourself. The first being, why do this at all, and the second why go to all the trouble to blog it? The answer to the first question is simple. My obsession runs deep. Very very deep. As for the latter question, I think that everyone should know how to grill a beautiful tasty pizza and thought you may want to learn a few tips alongside me.

Obviously the book (which you should sign out at your local public library) goes into great detail about dough, sauce, accompaniments etc. However, the most important detail is the 2 part process of cooking the pizza on the BBQ.

Step one is to preheat the BBQ for a full 15-minutes. Turn the burners down to medium and put your raw dough directly onto the greased grill and shut the lid quickly. Cook for exactly 3 minutes and take off the dough.

At this point you flip it over onto a board and you dress your pizza. Any toppings that need to be cooked, need to be cooked first.

Turn off the middle burner, or one side of your BBQ. Put the topped pizza onto the side that has been turned off.

Cook with the lid down until hot and bubbly.
