taking the flip out of grilled pizza

Grilling is an easy and delicious way to make pizza during the hot summer months. If you are like me, you hate to turn on your oven and heat up your house so you turn to the grill. 

This month’s issue of Sunset magazine features recipes for grilled pizza. The recipes themselves look fantastic, but I found their grilling instructions to be a bit intimidating. We have all seen the clip from Julia Child’s cooking show by now where she announces that “you must have the courage of your convictions” before she tries to flip the potato pancake and drops it on the stove. That is exactly the scene that came to my mind when I was reading Sunset’s instructions. They tell you to roll the dough out on oiled parchment paper and then flip it over onto the grill. While Child was able to put the potato mess back in the pan and keep cooking, I am not what would happen if you miss the grill.

If you saw the recipes in Sunset, but don’t have the courage of your convictions, there is an easier way. Go here for simple, easy directions on grilling pizza along with a recipe for Margherita pizza. Better yet, try my grilling directions with Sunset’s Bianca pizza recipe. It looks good.
