Ingredients

• 1 ball (premade or homemade, approximately 12 ounces) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 6 slices Canadian bacon
• 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). If using a gas grill, make sure the grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Dust a flat surface with cornmeal. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and brush one side lightly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Carefully place the oiled side of the dough onto the grill. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is lightly browned and grill marks form.

Step 4

Using tongs, flip the dough over. Brush the grilled side with the remaining olive oil.

Step 5

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cooked side of the dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Evenly distribute the Canadian bacon slices and red onion across the pizza.

Step 7

Season the pizza with salt and black pepper. Close the grill lid and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pizza from the grill to a cutting board. Top with fresh basil leaves for garnish.

Step 9

Let the pizza cool for 2 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!
