Bobby Flay's Margherita Pizza
- 1 store-bought pizza dough
- Olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 3 Roma tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- Handful fresh basil leaves
- Prepare the grill for direct and indirect cooking.
- Once the grill is hot (you can hold your hands an inch over the grates for no more than 2 seconds), stretch and shape the dough into a 12-inch round on a flat surface.
- Brush the top with oil, salt and pepper and toss on the grill, oil-side down.
- Cook until the bottom is golden brown, 1 minute.
- Check the bottom of the dough to see if it is getting browned.
- If it is on one part, but not the other, use a spatula or tongs to rotate the dough 90 degrees and cook for another minute.
- If it is still not beginning to brown, cover the grill and continue to cook a minute at a time until the bottom has browned evenly.
- (It should only take a couple minutes if you have a hot grill.)
- The top of the pizza dough will also start bubbling up with air pockets.
- Once the pizza dough has browned on the bottom, flip over and grill until golden brown and the dough is just firm, another minute or so.
- Remove to a sheet pan.
- Cover the grill so it retains the heat for the next step.
- Drizzle the top with more olive oil.
- Put the mozzarella and tomato slices on top and season with salt and pepper.
- Return the pizza to the grill on the sheet pan, cover the grill and cook for 3 or 4 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Remove from the grill and tear the basil leaves over the top.
- Slice and serve immediately.
