Back to reality after last week's fried platter hijacking! One day we will figure out how to do a healthy version of Arnold's famous onion rings. Until then we bring you another one of our favorite summertime meals, Grilled Pizza! Mike and I love to make pizza on the grill, it can be fun to do with friends and it keeps the kitchen cold in the summer.
Ingredients
One package of store bought pizza dough (Or make your own!)
2 Cups Pizza Sauce
1 Ball Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 Cup Fresh Basil
1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Two tomatoes thinly sliced
Olive Oil
Red Pepper Flakes
1) Prep all of your toppings for easy assembly later.
2) Divide the dough in two. Smaller Pizzas are easier to handle on the grill. Sprinkle a little flour on the counter to make a nice non-stick surface. Wine bottles work great for rolling pins!
3) Pre-heat the grill. Brush one side of the dough with oil and lay oil side down on the grill. Oil the top and flip once the dough starts to crisp up. A large spatula certainly helps.
4) Quickly assemble the pizza, sauce, cheese, tomato & basil. Any order you wish.
5) Once the cheese melts and the dough is crispy remove from the grill. Enjoy.
The Calorie Break Down:
Eat Fit not Fat- Grilled Pizza- Who cares, it is summer time. It must be better than delivery. 🙂
I wouldn’t put those toppings on mine but it does look delicious!
Vegetarian option!
Smothering it with pepperoni though might drive up the calories a little bit =P
I would like everyone to know that Mr. Michael Bard was in charge of this weeks post, hence no calorie counts 🙂 He did a great job and it did taste delcious 🙂 Feel free to use your own favorite toppings. The grill gives the dough a crisp crunch and delicious flavor you can’t acheive in your kitchen oven. Def worth a try if you have a grill!
