Ingredients

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 to 3 cups yellow and red heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved, quartered, or sliced
  • 12 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Garnish: fresh basil leaves

Method

  • Preheat grill to high heat (400° to 500°). Combine garlic and oil in a small bowl; let stand 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Divide dough into 8 portions. Press each portion to 1/4-inch thickness on lightly oiled baking sheets. Brush both sides of crusts lightly with half of garlic oil.
  • Place dough pieces on hot grill rack, in batches if necessary; grill 2 minutes or until bottoms of crusts are marked and tops begin to puff. Remove crusts from grill, and place on baking sheets, grilled side up.
  • Brush remaining garlic oil on crusts. Top with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place pizzas on grill rack with a large spatula, close lid, and grill 1 to 2 minutes or until crusts are golden brown and cheese melts. Garnish, if desired. Serve immediately.
