Grilled Pesto Pizzas
Grilled Pesto Pizzas are made from a yeast dough topped with pesto sauce, feta cheese, and fresh tomatoes, then finished with dried basil, salt, and pepper. The dough is kneaded, divided into balls, and left to rise briefly before grilling. The pizzas get topped midway through grilling for a blend of smoky char and fresh toppings, creating a unique outdoor-cooked pizza experience.
