Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough, divided into 2
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced thin
- 2 heirloom tomatoes, sliced thin and patted dry with paper towels
- 2 links cooked Italian chicken sausage, such as Al Fresco
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 4-5 basil leaves torn or chopped
Instructions
- Heat the grill to around 500-550° F.
- When the grill is hot put the 2 links of chicken sausage on and let them heat up for approximately 5-7 minutes, turn them once.
- While the sausage grills, slice the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and put them on a plate along with the chopped basil.
- Remove the sausage from the grill and slice it into desired thickness. Add it onto the plate with the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil.
- Stretch or roll the 2 balls of pizza dough into thin rounds, they don't have to be perfect
- Brush one side of the dough with olive oil. Place the dough olive oil side down onto the hot grill. Brush the top of the dough with more olive oil.
- Grill the pizza dough with the lid closed for approximately 1-2 minutes then flip it over to the other side and cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Remove them from the grill and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on top of each one. Top with slices of mozzarella, tomatoes, sausage, and dollop with ricotta.
- Put the prepared pizza back on the grill and grill with the lid closed until the mozzarella melts, approximately 1-2 minutes. Finish the pizza with the fresh chopped basil and a sprinkle of kosher salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Grilling times may vary depending on your particular grill. Use your nose and check to make sure the dough isn't scorching. If it is getting to hot move it to a cooler part of the grill.
- Don't roll/stretch your dough out too thin. It's easier to handle if it's a little thicker.
