PIZZA

Sister, thank you for the BBQ chicken recipe.  I made it this weekend and served it sandwich style.  It was a hit.  The next time I will serve it as tacos.  Can't wait.

Here is one last recipe I wanted to share with you.   This was inspired by a recipe on Gwyneth's GOOP.  But I modified it to make it work without a fancy wood burning oven (which she has and I don't).  Grilled pizza!  Yum!  I tried this on my own without a true recipe in hand.  It took some trial and error but for the most part it has been spot on.  And, the kids love it!

Grilled Pizza

Fresh pizza dough (I buy this at the grocery store)

pizza sauce

onion

tomato

garlic

fresh mozzarella

I split the pizza dough into 2 halves.  I make a traditional pizza for the kids.  I make a separate pizza for the adults with more interesting toppings. 

Heat the grill to medium/medium-high heat.  Brush the onion and tomato with olive oil and place on the grill.  Roll out the pizza dough (I like it thin).  Brush one side with olive oil and put that side down on the grill (you may need an extra hand for this step).  Once the dough starts to puff up, brush olive oil on the top of the dough and flip the dough.  For the kid pizza, add a thin layer of pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese.  Heat until the cheese starts to melt.  Remove from grill, cut and serve.

For the adult pizza, repeat steps above with the 2nd piece of dough.  This time add the onion, tomato, garlic and any other toppings you can think of.  We recently added some grilled shrimp.  Heat until the cheese starts to melt.  Remove from grill, cut and serve.

Enjoy!
