Pizza On The Grill

 We always use the grill for barbecuing, but you cn also use itr for pizza. This is a nice change up from all those hot dogs and burgers.It's perfect on a hot Weekend evening. topped with veggies from the garden

Thr great chef J. Kenji Lopez-Alt wrote about it along with giving a recipe for it in yesterday's New York Times Food section. Chef Lopez-Alt has had some experience in making these delicious pies.He created them for Cambridge 1 up in  Cambridge Massachusetts. Grilled pizza is made a little differently than oven fired. THe  store bought dough is rolled into a ball and then dipped in a bowl of olive oi for an hour or so of proofing. It's then  dusted with flour , rolled out an carefully draped over the grill. Both sides must be baked first before putting on the sauce and cheese on.As  for the sauce Chef Alt-Lopez recommends a pureed plum tomato mix which has bits of tomato in it.The mozzarella should be a low moisture one or shredded Once topped, the pizza is returned to the gill to melt. If you're adding meat or seafood toppings make sure they're cooked, Finish with a drizzle of olive oil ad a good sprinkling of chopped basil or scallions.

Pizza fresh off the grill is a nice change off from all those burgers and dog. It 's the perfect meal for a summer Saturday or Sunday night. Have it with a salad and a cold drink for  the best outdoor meal ever.
