BBQ pizza

I really wanted pizza tonight, but I would have melted into a puddle if we had turned on the oven. So we used the BBQ. Never done that before.
Here's what we did.
Made my current favorite pizza dough, and then spread it onto a well greased and cornmeal sprinkled piece of tin foil. Actually I used a few pieces put together and rolled the edges to make it kind of like a pan.
Once the dough was on, we grilled it for about 5 minutes. Then took it off the heat and added the toppings. Put it back on the BBQ for 10 minutes.
Perfection!
The cheese was melted perfectly, the dough was crisp on the bottom but not burned. It was chewy but not doughy. I would probably only make it slightly thinner because that is my preference.
And my house isn't any hotter than when we started. Night Owl said we would never use the oven for pizza again....We'll see about that when it is -40 and I want pizza....

I cook my pizza on the BBQ all thime it's my favourite way to do it. I make the dough spread it out and then put the sauce on it put in on the BBQ, as it is on the BBQ I out all the toppings on it and let it cook. It's the best way to have homemade pizza. the oven is just no comparison.
