How to Make Pizza on a Gas Grill

I have been wanting to try making pizza on the grill forever but I was always so intimidated by the idea.  But I decided this was going to be the summer I finally made it happen... and boy it was so tasty that I found myself wishing I had started making pizza on the grill a long time ago.

It has all the flavor of a brick oven pizza without the brick oven!




Since no one in our family likes the same kind of pizza I break our batch of pizza dough into 4 individual serving.  I flattened them out and put them on two cookie sheets lines with parchment paper.  

I heated the grill to 350, cleaned it off really well with the brush and then used a paper towel with a bit of vegetable oil on it to oil up the grill rack just to make sure my pizza wouldn't stick to it. 

I laid each pizza right on the grill rack and shut the grill.



In just a few minutes (2- 3 at most) you'll notice the dough begins to puff up and the grill side gets a nice golden brown.  Remove the dough from the grill and add toppings TO THE SIDE YOU HAD GRILLED.


I used those same parchment lined pans and brought our pizza inside to assemble since it was so darn hot out!  The raw pizza dough should be facing up and you want to add sauce, cheese, and topping to the side that is lightly crunchy.



We put the pizzas back on the grill and let them cook until the cheese was nice and melted and the bottom crust was finished cooking.


We did end up throwing the pizzas under the broiler just to brown up the cheese (we can't let our grill get hotter than 350 or it tends to catch fire.. yeah, we need a new grill).


See how nice and brown/ crunchy the bottom gets?  It gives it so much flavor!


Have you ever tried grilled pizza?

    you know...that looks good! Makes me tempted to try it out. :) Can you cook the pizza on parchment paper (the dough I mean)? or would it catch fire?

      I'm thinking the parchment paper would catch fire..

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

Making Gift Card and Money Holders Using Scrapbooking and Cardmaking Supples

Image
I don't tend to keep a lot of crafting supplies on hand so when I saw this month's de-stash challenge I wasn't sure what I was going to make.  I finally realized that with so many of my Christmas gifts being cash and gift cards this year that I needed to make up some fun paper crafting/ creative ways to gift them.   I still want my nieces and nephews to have something to open so I pulled out my papers and stamps and made up some cute little money/gift card holders. They were much easier to make than I thought.  The first one I worked on was to hold some oversized Nintendo gift cards.  I made a standard sized card and folded down one corner of the card front.  Then I ran my double sided tape along the bottom an 1/2 way up the side creating a cute little pocket.  Finally I added some cute embellishments and ribbons.   Voila! A simple and easy gift card holder for those larger sized gift cards.  The bulk of the tweens and teens on my list j...

Making a Sugar Cookie "Gingerbread" House

Image
 Alec really wanted to try making his own gingerbread house this year without using a premade kit.  We talked about how we never really eat the house since they don't taste very good.  Years ago we gave up on the frosting that comes in the kit and began making our own so we thought perhaps we should try making our our house too. Only problem is that no one in the house likes gingerbread.  We talked about trying to make the house using a sugar cookie recipe.  Alec was so excited at that idea since he just LOVES sugar cookies.   He found a recipe online for a simple sugar cookie recipe and mixed up the dough.  He rolled it out an cut it to the size of our cookie sheets-- we had read that it's easiest to cut the house pieces out after the dough has been baked and is still warm and soft because then you don't have to worry about any of the pieces losing their shape while baking. I had picked out a simple cookie cutter set on Amazon and as soon as the ...
