grill out-cali pizza recipe



{cali pizza}

By no means are Dave and I grill masters (especially me as I get lost after turning on the propane) but we're definitely getting better. The thing I love about Florida is that it's pretty much grilling weather all.year.long. We haven't taken advantage of that as much as we should but going in to summer we're starting off with a bang. We've used our grill for chicken, steak, onions, green peppers, and corn on the cob.

My parents invited us over a couple nights a go for cali pizza on their grill. It's a summer staple with my family and when we all lived in DC, my girlfriends would come over and have so much fun creating our own pizzas and enjoying being together.

 

 

 CALIFORNIA PIZZA RECIPE by Ina Garten

For the dough:

 

1 1/4 cups warm (100 to 110 degrees F) water

2 packages dry yeast

1 tablespoon honey

3 tablespoons good olive oil

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading

2 teaspoons kosher salt

 

After letting the dough rise, you place it on the grill, flip to the other side, drizzle it with olive oil and add your ingredients until they're melted and yummy. I'd suggest checking out the full recipe on the Food Network site here.

 

My favorite toppings:

 

mozzarella cheese

feta cheese

prosciutto

mushrooms

basil-lots of fresh basil

cherry tomatoes

red onion

 

I hope you'll try out this recipe at some point in the summer. It's an easy way to add a delicious meal to your cooking repertoire. And it's a crowd pleaser because everyone can customize their own. Even picky ol' Dave loves cali pizza nights.
