I love riding my bike because I love food!!! It is stinking hot so there was no way I want to turn on the oven but I have been JONES for homemade pizza. On the ride, Bad Kat and I talked about wanting to try to grill pizza. Thank goodness we only rode 35+ miles because that allowed me time to make pizza dough in the bread maker, go to market, stop at one of my favorite coffee shops (Cross Keys Coffee & Tea) for an espresso (1/2 decaf-1/2 reg) and come home to chop veggies to marinade for grilling tomorrow and then saute mushrooms, onions and sausage for pizza on the grill. I have to note I had to have a half & half espresso because I am running a mile a minute. I read online how to grill pizza and since we have an old grill, I didn't trust throwing dough on the grill ~ even an oiled grill, so I ripped off some aluminum foil and spread some olive oil on them. I put the cooked mushrooms, onions and turkey sausage in separate bowls, rolled out two oval pies, fired up the grill and took everything outside except the dough. Once the grill was hot, I ran in the house, carefully grabbed one of the doughs on aluminum foil and threw it on the grill. I forgot about the cheese and sauce and ran in the house quickly for those fixings (you have to do all of this fast as the dough can burn on the grill). Luckily I closed the grill lid because we ran out of gas. #()%(*%*@A!! At least the dough got crispy on the bottom so I flipped it and closed the lid again. I ran down into the basement to finish up some laundry and ran up to place the toppings on the dough. Once the toppings were on, I closed the lid so the cheese would at least melt. I was STARVING because I didn't eat lunch because I was waiting for this moment. The pizza turned out awesome!! Brad just changed the tank so I can finish making the other pizza.
I will probably not have time to run around and finish the laundry, do dishes, etc. as there is a full tank of gas! Woohoo. Based on the recipes on the web, you don't really want to close the lid but I had a stinking suspicion that the tank was going to run out of gas. I will throw the other dough on the grill, watch it cook in a few minutes, flip it with two spatulas and then put all the stuff on top. Bingo! Grilled pizza in no time!! Yummy!!
