Pizza on the Grill Recipe

Read Reviews

Pizza is such a favorite at our house that I make it at least once a week. When the heat and humidity are up there, though, the last thing that I want to do is turn on the oven. So I just move my recipe to the grill—the barbecue flavor mingling with the cheese tastes delicious. —Lisa Boettcher, Columbus, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2-3/4 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1/2 to 3/4 cup barbecue sauce
1/2 cup julienned green pepper
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the oil, sugar, baking soda, salt and 2 cups flour. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a greased 12-in. pizza pan. Build up edges slightly.

"This pizza had a great taste. I did use a pouch mix crust to save time. Looking forward to trying this crust recipe in the future. I also substituted onions for the green peppers. I used not quite 3/4 cup of BBQ sauce and thought it was a little too much. The next time I would use the 1/2 cup."

"I have made this recipe so many times I have lost track....yup...it is t-h-a-t good! I also make it in the oven. Set to 350 degrees. I saute my onions and peppers in a little olive oil before adding on top and my BBQ is 1/2 bulls eye original and 1/2 Heinz 57. Combo that with a good cojack cheese...MMMMMMM. Love this crust. Very different and everyone loves it. I also cook it on a pizza stone with parchment paper underneath, par cooking it for 6 minutes before adding toppings. If you love BBQ chicken, you will enjoy this."
