Susan to the Rescue: Pesto and Mozzarella Pizza Video

Susan demonstrates how to grill a pizza.


Hi. This is Susan Westmoreland in the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchens. Tonight, we are making grilled pizza for dinner. This will make you-- here with your children. The setup is chop up all of your favorite vegetables-- and maybe a couple that they don't love-- and get pizza from either the pizzeria, your supermarket, or you can even buy a pre-baked crust. Light the grill, get it for medium low heat. You don't wanna do this too quickly, but you want just a nice even heat. Let it pre-heat for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, take a piece of foil or a parchment paper. And you're gonna just take the dough-- with a little bit of flour on your hands, actually. Makes it easier. Shape it. Now, people always are terrified when I do this because they think that the dough is gonna just sink into the grill and be this crazy mess. But when it hits the heat, it constricts and just gets beautiful grill marks. You grill it on one side for about a minute, a minute and a half. And then take a pair of tongs, and then flip it. And as you're flipping it, have all of those ingredients in your bar ready. Just top it with mozzarella, veggies. I like to do fresh tomato slices. But you can also do tomato sauce. Just make it as easy as you want. It's so delicious. And cover the grill after you put your toppings on. Cook it for another minute to minute and a half. And you got melted cheese, delicious veggies. Serve a salad, and you're done. It's fabulous. Warm night dinner. Sit outside and eat it healthfully. Enjoy dinner. This is Susan Westmoreland, helping you take back dinnertime.
