  6. 1 tablespoon of minced garlic

  7. 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning

Putting the pizza together

Ingredients

  1. Pizza dough

  2. Pizza sauce

  3. toppings (whatever you prefer)

  4. 1 1/2 cups of grated mozzarella cheese

  5. 2 tablespoons of butter

  6. flaky salt

  7. parmesan cheese

  8. garlic herb salt

Instructions

  1. Dust your work surface and dough with flour, deflate the dough and remove from bowl.

  2. Dust both sides of the dough with flour and pat into a round disk.

  3. Continue to pat and stretch the dough until it fits onto the pan size that you have. Or you can toss the dough until it reached your desired size.

  4. Place onto an oiled pan and lightly press the edges to form the crust.

  5. Spread about 3/4 cup of cooled pizza sauce onto your dough. Make sure the sauce reaches the crust.

  6. Sprinkle your cheese and add toppings.

  7. Prepare your grill by placing a thick pan or piece of sheet metal over the grill top. This will allow heat to better circulate around your pizza so the bottom doesn’t burn.

  8. Place into your grill and turn all your burners to high. Cook for about 7 minutes, but every grill is different so please keep an eye on it.

  9. Turn your burners to medium heat (for us this means the two middle burners on low and the outer burners on high) and cook for another 15 minutes. Rotating and checking on your pizza throughout. Can’t emphasise this enough!

  10. Your pizza is done when the bottom and edges are golden brown and crispy.

  11. Turn off the grill and remove the pizza when it’s done.

  12. Spread melted butter on the crust and sprinkle the crust with flaky salt.

  13. Grate parmesan cheese and sprinkle the whole pizza with garlic herb salt.

  14. Let cool for at least 5 minutes.

  15. Slice into desired portions and enjoy!
