Benefits of Grilled Pizza Crust:

What makes this new gluten free pizza base recipe different is that it cooks up on your grill. Grilled pizza crust has two big benefits.

• If it is hot outside, you can skip using the oven. Why heat up your house if you don’t need to?
• The high heat from the grill makes the grilled pizza crust nice and crispy!

Are you ready to give this grilled pizza crust a try? First, let’s make the gluten free pizza base. This pizza dough is probably going to be a lot more firm than what you are used to making. It needs to be more firm to hold up to the grill.

How to Make Gluten Free Pizza Base:

The first step is to proof your yeast so it gets nice and foamy. This helps the pizza crust so that it isn’t so dense.

Slowly add the ingredients into a mixer. (I switched to the dough hook on my Kitchen Aid mixer because it handles the dough the easiest.)

Put the gluten free pizza base dough onto a board and shape into individual pizza crusts.

Can you make this pizza crust without yeast?

Unfortunately, you do need yeast for this specific pizza recipe. If you prefer to make a pizza crust without yeast, I highly recommend giving this Grain-Free Gluten Free Pizza Crust recipe a try.

Do you need a pizza stone to make this grilled pizza?

Nope…you don’t need a pizza stone to make my grilled pizza recipe. You can plop that raw pizza crust dough right on the grill!

How do you grill pizza on a Weber grill?

Our grill is a Weber grill so this is an easy question for me to answer for you. I preheat my Weber grill on medium-high until the temperature gauge is showing 450F degrees. Open the grill and add your pizza crusts. I grill the pizza crusts with the lid closed for 8 minutes, then open the lid and add the sauce, cheese and toppings.

Topping Ideas for this Grilled Pizza Recipe:

• Pepperoni
• Sausage
• Pineapple
• Ham
• Fresh basil
• Mushrooms

Delicious Sides to Serve with Gluten Free Pizza:

• Cinnamon Brown Sugar Carrots
