Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 lb. pizza dough or 1 tube Pillsbury thin crust dough
Toppings
- 4 oz. soft goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 2/3 cup shaved Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
Others
- Oil for brushing grill
Instructions
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent the pizza dough from sticking during cooking.
- Shape the Dough: On a floured surface, shape the dough into a thin crust. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then gently press it out further to maintain a thin profile. If using store-bought tube dough, simply unroll it.
- Grill the Dough: Place the dough directly onto the hot grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 2 minutes on high heat to cook the bottom and form grill marks.
- Flip and Add Toppings: Carefully lift the grill lid with tongs and flip the dough over. Reduce the grill heat to low. Quickly spread the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the grilled side, sprinkle the chopped pecans and then the shaved Parmesan on top.
- Cook Until Cheese Melts: Close the grill lid and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes, allowing the crust to cook through completely and the cheese to melt beautifully.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the grill, sprinkle with fresh chopped sage, and drizzle the honey over the top. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm and flavorful pizza.
Notes
- Make sure to oil the grill grates well to prevent the dough from sticking and tearing.
- You can substitute pecans with walnuts or pine nuts for different textures and flavors.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste for a sweeter or subtler finish.
- This pizza is best served fresh off the grill to enjoy the crisp crust and melted cheese.
- If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature for easier handling.
