Here's what you need: pizza dough, olive oil, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil leaves

Provided by Jordan Kenna

Categories     Lunch

Time 30m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
½ cup tomato sauce
½ cup mozzarella cheese
1 sprig fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill on high for 5-10 minutes.
  • Coat the pizza dough with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Using your hands, rub the oil onto the outside of the dough while carefully stretching it into a circle 12-14 inches (30-35 cm) in diameter. Place the oiled pizza dough onto the preheated grill and quickly brush the top with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Close the grill and allow pizza dough to cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • After 4 minutes, check the pizza. Large bubbles should be forming across the top of the dough. Using a large spatula or set of tongs, flip the dough over. Reduce the heat to low and add the sauce, cheese, and basil to the pizza. Increase the heat back to high and close the grill. Cook the pizza for 5-6 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the crust is lightly charred.
  • Cook the pizza for 5-6 minutes more, until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the crust is lightly charred.
  • Enjoy!

GRILLED PIZZA BURGER

I just saw this recipe on the Today show and it looks super-yummy! It is from Aaron McCargo from the Food Network.

Provided by hungrykitten

Categories     Meat

Time 50m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and then coarsely chopped
1 lb store bought pizza dough
1 cup store bought pizza sauce
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons granulated onion powder
6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • In a medium sized bowl, add ground beef, bacon, onions, black pepper, salt, oregano, onion and garlic. Mix until all incorporated (be careful not to over mix). Make three 5 ounce (try to make burgers around 3-3 1/2 inches round in diameter) burger patties and grill until medium, about 3-4 minutes on each side, then remove from the grill and set on a plate to rest.
  • In a small bowl, mix pepperoni, cheese and pizza sauce together and set aside.
  • Dust the cooking board with flour and cut the pizza dough into thirds, roll it out until you have about a 5-6 inch diameter. Put one burger patty, on one side, of one piece of the dough, leaving at least 1/2" from the edge available to be sealed. Put a 1/3 of the cheese and sauce mix on top of the burger. Fold the other half and pinch until sealed tightly. Mold the dough around the burger to make it round, without applying to much pressure. Repeat for the other two patties.
  • Oil both sides of each burger wrapped in dough and grill for 4-7 min (on both sides or until desired crispness) on the medium-hot part of the grill, turning with a flat spatula. Then slide to the warm part of the grill, close the lid, and let cook for an additional 2-3 minute Open lid, remove and enjoy.

GRILLED PIZZA



Grilled Pizza image

Neapolitan-style pizza is typically baked in ovens heated past 900 degrees to achieve its signature crackly, thin, charred crust with a moist, stretchy crumb. But you can easily yield similar textures and flavors at home by baking pizza dough directly on the grates of a hot grill until it's bubbly and crisp. Once the dough is baked, it can be topped and finished via indirect heat. Because grilled pizzas cook mainly from below, the cheese should be layered underneath dollops of hand-crushed tomatoes and toppings to get a good melt.

Categories     pizza and calzones, main course

Time 2h45m

Yield 3 (10-by-12-to-14-inch) pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound store-bought pizza dough (defrosted overnight in the fridge, if frozen)
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled plum tomatoes
Kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound low-moisture block mozzarella (see Tips)
Toppings, as desired (see Tips)
Roughly chopped fresh basil leaves or thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Two to three hours before grilling, transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, divide the dough into three even pieces. Drizzle a teaspoon of neutral cooking oil into three soup bowls. (Each bowl should be able to hold at least twice the volume of the dough pieces.)
  • Working with one piece of dough at a time, shape each into a ball by stretching it and pinching it into a point at the bottom, forming a sort of "skin" that wraps the whole ball. Lightly dust your hands with flour as necessary to prevent excessive sticking. Transfer the ball to one of the oiled bowls and turn it a few times to completely coat the surface in oil, then let it rest seam side down. Repeat Step 2 with remaining dough pieces, then drape a damp kitchen towel over all three bowls. Let the dough balls rest until roughly doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  • Transfer the tomatoes to a fine-mesh strainer set over a large bowl and shake the strainer, allowing the tomatoes to drain thoroughly. Still working in the strainer above the bowl, season well with salt, and, using clean hands, squeeze them through your fingers until a rough purée is formed. (The pieces of tomato should end up ranging from 1/4 inch to roughly 1 inch in size.) Allow any excess liquid to drain (you can save the strainer tomato juice for another use), then transfer the crushed tomatoes to a bowl and set aside.
  • Turn out one ball of dough onto a floured work surface and dust thoroughly with more flour. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a 10-inch-by-12-to-14-inch oblong. Dust both sides thoroughly with flour, then transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining two dough balls, stacking them on top of the first with a layer of parchment paper between each.
  • To cook, ignite a full chimney of charcoal. When the coals are mostly covered in gray ash, spread evenly under half of the grill. (If using a gas grill, set half the burners to high, leaving the remaining burners off. Cover, and allow to heat for 10 minutes.)
  • Using your fingers, carefully lift one piece of rolled-out dough from the stack and drape it quickly on the grill grates directly above the fire. Let it cook without moving until the top starts to bubble and the bottom is lightly browned, about 20 to 30 seconds. Continue cooking, using metal tongs and a large spatula or thin metal pizza peel to move and rotate the crust as it cooks, until the bottom is evenly browned all over with a few charred spots, 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Flip the crust, and brush the cooked side with a thin layer of olive oil. Continue cooking until the second side is browned, charred and crisp. Flip again (so that the bubblier side faces up), transfer to a clean baking sheet, and brush the second side with olive oil. Repeat Steps 6 and 7 with remaining two pizza skins, stacking the crusts as they finish cooking. (If using coal, the heat may start to dip. Extend cooking time to compensate, or add 15 to 20 fresh coals to the top of the embers and allow them to ignite before continuing.)
  • Working one pizza at a time, transfer the crust to the pizza peel. (A cutting board or the back of a baking sheet will also work.) Spread a thin layer of shredded cheese across the surface of the crust (about 1 cup should do it). Using a spoon, add tablespoon-size dollops of crushed tomatoes, spaced an inch or two apart, across the whole surface of the pizza. Add toppings as desired (see Tips). Slide the pizza onto the cooler side of the grill, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted and the crust is crisp, 1 to 5 minutes total, rotating the pizza occasionally to encourage even melting and crisping. Transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with basil or scallions, cut into squares, and serve immediately. Repeat Step 8 with remaining pizza crusts.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Burger Bun: Opt for a sturdy bun that can hold up to the weight of the toppings and won't get soggy from the burger juices.
  • Season the Burger Patties Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A well-seasoned patty will make all the difference in the final flavor of the burger.
  • Cook the Burger Patties Over Medium-High Heat: This will help create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and flavorful.
  • Don't Overcook the Burger Patties: Overcooked patties will be dry and tough. Aim for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
  • Toast the Burger Buns: Toasting the buns adds a nice smoky flavor and helps prevent them from getting soggy.
  • Pile on the Toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Don't Forget the Sauce: A good sauce can really make or break a burger. Choose a sauce that complements the other flavors in the burger.

Conclusion:

Grilled pizza burgers are a delicious and easy way to enjoy a classic burger with a twist. By following these tips, you can create a burger that is juicy, flavorful, and sure to satisfy your cravings. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy the perfect summer meal!
