Charred crust, vibrant tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, and basil unite for a fresh Italian favorite.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 450 g fresh pizza dough
02 - All-purpose flour, for dusting
→ Sauce
03 - 240 ml canned crushed tomatoes or tomato passata
04 - 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced
06 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Toppings
08 - 225 g fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
09 - 15 g fresh basil leaves
10 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 230°C. Clean and oil the grates thoroughly.
02 - On a floured surface, roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 30 cm round, about 0.5 cm thick.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
04 - Lightly brush one side of the dough with olive oil. Place the oiled side down onto the hot grill grates. Grill uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, until the underside is lightly charred and bubbles form on top.
05 - Brush the top (uncooked) side of the dough with olive oil. Using tongs or a large spatula, carefully flip the dough.
06 - Quickly spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the grilled side. Arrange mozzarella slices over the sauce.
07 - Close the grill lid and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bottom is crisp and golden-brown.
08 - Remove the pizza from the grill. Top with fresh basil leaves and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Slice and serve immediately.
