Grilled Pizza Outside on the BBQ
Ingredients
Use The Pampered Chef Pizza Dough or use Pizza Dough in poly bag (found at dairy case or bakery section of supermarket)
Feta Cheese and/or Mozzarella cheese
Oil
Italian Seasoning
Garlic
4-5 Plum Tomatoes or Pizza Sauce
Toppings: Suggestions – onion, pepper, mushrooms, chicken, pepperoni
Directions:
Split Pizza Dough in half…flour and roll it out (easier to do if at room temp)
Preheat gas grill…make sure it is clean to avoid black charring on bottom of pizza
Oil grill using basting brush…once hot place pizza dough on grill and cover for about 3 minutes…turn with BBQ turner, place tomatoes or tomato sauce on top of dough, add garlic, cheese and toppings and cook for another 3 minutes…remove to cutting board and slice with pizza cutter.
Tips:
Prep everything before you go to grill…grate cheese, have toppings cooked and sliced/chopped, everything should be open and convenient to grab. This is also the main part of your show where you will demonstrate most of your products.
If using feta cheese and would like it softer you can stick pizza in microwave for 1 minute to melt it down.
Have FUN and be creative…I’ve also split dough into 4 or 8 sections and had everyone make their own pizza on the grill....great for interactive show!

Home Made Grilled Pizza
1 pkg. pizza dough split in half
1 cup of shredded cheese or feta cheese
4 – 5 plum tomatoes
Olive Oil
Italian Seasoning
Any type veggie such as onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc.
Any type of meat such as chicken or pepperoni
Heat Gas Grill on high. Clean grids before using to avoid black on bottom of pizza. Prep all ingredients before cooking. This would include grating your cheese (with cheese grater & grate and store container), slicing your tomatoes (ultimate slice and grate or knife on cutting board), slice or dice veggies (ultimate slice and grate, knife, chopper, egg slicer, cutting boards) and depending on how much time you have or method you would like to use either sauté veggies (cookware on top of stove), steam (micro steamer in microwave oven), roast (on stone in oven) or grill to release water. Sprinkle dough with flour (flour sugar shaker) and roll out (with roller) on cutting board or stone. Bring everything to grill area. You can put items in Prep Bowls, Simple Addition Bowls, Batter Bowls, Stainless Steel Bowls, etc. Now your ready to start grilling (have your grill tools ready). You can use any type of basting brush to brush on oil to top side of dough. Lay dough oil side down on grill and close cover. Grill for about 2-3 minutes until dough sets. Brush top side with oil and flip it over using your Jumbo Turner or BBQ Turner. Work fast and lay down tomatoes on top of cooked crust, sprinkle with cheese, add toppings and cover…cook for another 2-3 minutes until cheese has melted and bottom is light brown. Remove onto cutting board or stone. Cut with pizza cutter and serve with mini serving spatula (if using round stone put on woven product).
Use your imagination to create pizzas with a theme or that your host likes:
Ham and Pineapple for Luau
Onion and Peppers for Southwestern Theme
Pepperoni for Italian Theme
Mushroom for Healthy Eating Theme
Tomatoes, feta cheese, Italian Seasoning, black olives for Mediterranean Theme
Interactive Show–pair up 2 to 4 guests and split dough into 4 for individual pizzas
Fresh tomatoes make more of a flat bread pizza. You can also use pizza sauce for a more traditional pizza.
