Grilled Pizza
If you have yet to try grilled pizza, now is the time to do so! The smoke from the grill gives this keto pizza crust an amazing flavor. Top the crust with any of your favorite toppings, or none at all. For the image shown, we topped the grilled dough with sautéed eggplant and creamy ricotta cheese.
What You Need:
- 1 Dough Mix, will make 4 12-inch thin crust pies
- Desired Toppings; tomato paste for base
Directions:
- Prepare the Dough Mix for pizza, as directed on the package. For 2 12-inch pizza's, prepare half the mix. Split dough in half prior to stretching.
- Roll each pie crust onto its own parchment paper. Use a tray/board to transfer the dough to and from the grill.
- Prepare your toppings. (see below for suggestions)
- Pre heat your grill to at least 350-400°F. The higher the temperature, the quicker it will brown.
- Make sure to have all of your toppings ready prior to placing the pizza dough on the grill. *The trick to grilled pizza is that you grill the plain dough first, on one side. Then flip it and top the grilled side with sauce and toppings.
- Place parchment paper and Dough on the heated grill for about 3-4 minutes with grill lid closed. Flip it, add your toppings and close grill lid.
- Once cheese is melted and you are satisfied with the crunch on the crust, remove from the grill and enjoy!
