Grilled Margherita Pizza with Italian Sausage  
2-3     11-13 minutes     Grill    
Pizza on the grill is a lot of fun, but it can also be one of the most challenging dishes to get right. Be sure to start with a firm dough and use a pizza peel to transport the dough on and off the grate smoothly. Practice makes perfect.
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (½-pound) Italian sausage link
1 bakery pizza dough
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup Garlic Quattro Formaggi Topping (found in Top This ) , heated through
2 tomatoes, sliced
6-7 fresh basil leaves, torn
4 ounces fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese, thin sliced and cut in quarters
  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat (300°F-350°F).
  2. Combine onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Place the sausage link on the grill grate and grill for 4-5 minutes per side until browned.
  4. Slice the sausage and set aside.
  5. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and roll out the pizza dough onto the pan, shaping round or rectangular, about ¼” thick.
  6. Brush the top of the crust with olive oil and carefully slide the crust onto the grill grate.
  7. Grill for 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown slightly.
  8. Gently turn the crust over and reduce the grill temperature to low (250°F-300°F).
  9. Top the pizza with the warmed Garlic Quattro Formaggi Topping, then add sliced Italian sausage, sliced tomatoes, and torn fresh basil leaves.
  10. Sprinkle the seasoned salt mixture over all, and scatter the mozzarella pieces on top.
  11. Grill the pizza with the lid closed for about 5 minutes until the crust is browned and the cheese is hot and bubbly.
Using a real Pizza Peel makes handling your dough much easier. I recommend using a layer of coarse corn meal to help the dough slide on and off the peel more easily, and it does not affect the flavor.
