Ingredients
- Honey Wheat Pizza Crust full recipe
- Crazy Good Sauteed Mushrooms full recipe
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Make the Honey Wheat Pizza Crust. If using refrigerated dough, get to room temperature at least two hours prior to using.
- Make the Crazy Good Sautéed Mushrooms.
- Gather everything you need for grilling: spatula or tongs, olive oil, mushrooms, pizza sauce, cheese, bell pepper, cutting board, pizza peel or baking sheet, grill glove. Cover and set near grill.
- Cut dough into six sections and roll into balls.
- Stretch out dough to six by six inch measurements, with a quarter of an inch thickness. Use olive oil to prevent stickiness. If you rub it in your hands and on the dough, then you should have no problem making the dough rounds. No need for perfect circles. Set dough on baking sheet with parchment paper in between.
- Turn grill to high heat and bring temperature to 500 degrees.
- Place up to three dough rounds on grill. Grill one side until it looks ready to flip or is easy to do so. This can take 90 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on grill. Dough will be very manageable.
- Remove from grill, place cooked side down on pizza peel or baking sheet. Add 3 tablespoons tomato sauce, 1/8 cup of mozzarella, 1/4 cup mushrooms, and sprinkle red bell pepper to taste on cooked side.
- Place uncooked side back on cooler side of grill (if using a charcoal grill). If using gas, lower the heat to Medium Low and close cover. Timing can go anywhere from 2-10 minutes, depending on grill. Remove from heat when cheese is nicely melted.
Notes
Removing the dough from the grill minimizes time spent over a flame. If you are more comfortable flipping the rounds and topping them quickly, then go ahead.
