Grilled Pizza
Serves 4 | Prep time: 30 mins | Cook time: 25 mins
Ingredients (makes 2 pizzas)
1 lb. pizza dough, cut in half
15.5 oz. jar of Bourbon Citrus sauce
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil,
plus extra for drizzling
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated (divided)
8 oz. fresh whole-milk mozzarella cheese,
torn into bite-size pieces (divided)
3 tbsp. fresh basil, cut into ribbons (divided)
Salt and pepper
Directions
NOTES: Remove dough from refrigerator for 1 hour before. For GAS GRILL: Turn burners to high, cover, and
heat until hot - about 15 minutes. (Make sure grates are clean and oiled.)
1. As grill heats up, in a small saucepan heat sauce. Cover and keep warm.
2. In a rimmed baking sheet pour 1/3 cup oil. Place dough onto sheet, and coat both sides liberally with oil, then begin to
stretch toward edges of pan.
3. Using fingers, you want to stretch dough as thinly as possible without creating holes.
4. In one quick motion, lift dough from pan and carefully transfer onto grill. Make sure it lands flat.
5. Cook until grill marks form and some charring occurs on the edges - 2 to 4 minutes.
6. Using tongs and spatula, peel dough from grate, rotate 90 degrees and continue to cook until second set of grill marks
appear, 2 to 3 mins. longer. Uncooked side will rise and bubble.
7. Flip dough and cook until second side of dough is lightly charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Using tongs or pizza peel,
transfer crust to cutting board, with first grilled side facing up.
8. Drizzle top of crust with 1 tbsp. oil and sprinkle 1/2 of Parmesan evenly over surface.
9. Arrange 1/2 of mozzarella pieces, evenly spaced, on surface of pizza.
10. Dollop sauce in evenly spaced (1 tbsp. mounds) over surface of pizza. DON’T OVER SAUCE.
11. Transfer pizza back to grill; cover and cook until bottom is well browned, and mozzarella is melted 3 to 5 mins.,
checking bottom and turning frequently to prevent burning.
12. Transfer to cutting board, sprinkle with 1/2 of basil, and season with salt & pepper.
