Dazzle your guests by baking pizza on the backyard grill! Prepared whole-wheat pizza dough and jarred pesto add convenience; fresh vegetables, herbs, and tangy cheese up the flavor.

Makes 4 servings
Active time: 30 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound prepared whole-wheat pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup prepared naturally-prepared pesto
  • 4 ripe organic plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled organic feta cheese
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn

Directions

  1. Heat grill to medium-high.
  2. Meanwhile, place dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch round crust, about 1/4 inch thick. Place crusts on a floured baking sheet. Carry crusts and toppings out to the grill.
  3. Lay crusts on grill (they won’t stay perfectly round). Cover grill and cook until crusts are lightly puffed and undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
  4. Using tongs, flip crusts. Immediately spread pesto over crusts. Top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with feta and pepper. Cover grill and cook until the undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.

    I’m going to try this, but my friend just gave me some spinach so I think I will use spinach instead of basil leaves.

      Good idea. Maybe I’ll make this again and use your idea with the spinach. I’d love to hear how it turned out!

    Glad to hear it. I’ll give it a try too. It looks easy if I can get the temp right.
