Pizza Night

We love our homemade pizzas.  With the extreme heat that has been following us, we hated to use the oven.  So, we found a way to make the pizzas on the grill.  Of course, this required us to get a new grill.  :)

There are many options to do this.  Some like to use the ready made crusts. We like to use dough.  We used to use fresh dough from Walmart.  However, as we move around, we found that not all of them carried that.  Our latest find is the Rhoades Bread frozen dough.  Simply set it out in the afternoon to thaw and it will be ready to roll out in time for dinner.

We decided to go with a barbecue chicken pizza for last night's menu.  Here is how we made it:

Once the dough has thawed and is at room temperature, roll out.  Tip:  spray the work area with non-stick cooking spray.  Works better than flour and keeps the dough moist.  Be sure to spray the pizza pan too.

After rolled and positioned on the pan, let rest for a few minutes.  Then, preheat the grill.  We turn both burners to low which gets it up to approx. 300 degrees.  Use a fork to pierce the dough so it will not get too puffy when baking.

Place on grill and bake for 10 minutes.

We had previously cooked the chicken breast.  While the crust is baking, cut up the chicken and pineapple.

The crust is ready for the toppings:

Baste the crust with barbecue sauce.  Then, place the chicken and pineapple around.  Top with mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
