Grilled Margherita Pizza
Today I am sharing with you my quick version of a pizza with just 5 ingredients. Quick, easy, delicious. You can use this same technique and top with your favorite topping too.
For the dough, you use a tube of Pillsbury pizza dough. You could make your own if you want, but this is the easy way. Then you will need some pizza sauce. I just use bottled marinara sauce. However, use pizza sauce if you prefer. Heck you can even make your own sauce if you want to.
Now for a Margherita pizza, you absolutely have to have fresh basil and fresh mozzarella. Don’t try to use regular mozzarella or dried basil. It just won’t do. These 2 ingredients are a must! The flavors of these two things are the focus and flavor of this pizza.
Here is what you need to make the
