Grilled pizza Margherita offers a unique take on a classic favorite, delivering a crisp crust and melted cheese that brings the taste of Italy to your own backyard. This recipe is perfect for those looking to embrace a new cooking method and impress guests with their culinary skills. The Char-Broil Bistro Pro Dual Fuel grill is ideal for this task due to its spacious cooking area and ability to reach high temperatures, essential for achieving that perfect crispy crust. Begin by preheating the grill to 550F, which ensures the dough cooks evenly and the cheese melts perfectly. Prepare your pizza by rolling out the dough to your desired thickness on a floured surface. Brush the dough with a light layer of olive oil before placing it on the grill for a quick initial cook. After a couple of minutes, flip the dough, then add your toppings: tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves. Allow the pizza to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, checking frequently to ensure the crust does not burn. The result is a beautifully grilled pizza Margherita, ready to be sliced and enjoyed with friends and family.
