Can a frozen pizza (frechette or digiorno type) be cooked with a propane gas bbq grill?
How long do I cook it?
High heat?
Medium heat?
If anyone knows how to do this please let me know - I'd love to try making it for dinner tonight.
Thanks!|||HOME-MADE PIZZA ON THE GRILL
1 (10 oz.) pkg. all-ready pizza crust
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 c. sliced fresh mushrooms, about 4 oz.
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 (28 oz.) can whole tomatoes, well drained & chopped (about 2 c.)
1 c. grated Mozzarella
1/4 c. chopped fresh basil leaves or 2 tbsp. dried
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Star fire in grill, placing rack 5 inches above coals. When coals are almost ready (medium-low), cut 16x12 inch sheet of foil. Roll out pizza dough on foil to 15x10 inch rectangle; freeze on foil 10 minutes for easier handling.
Meanwhile, in 10 inch skillet over medium heat, heat oil; add mushrooms and garlic; cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender. Remove from heat; set aside.
When grill is ready, remove dough on foil from freezer; immediately invert onto grill, peeling off foil. Barbecue 3 minutes until set and bottom of crust is lightly browned. Using one or two wide metal spatulas, remove crust to cookie sheet set near grill; carefully turn crust so cooked side is uppermost. Spoon tomatoes over crust, leaving 1 inch border all round; sprinkle with cheese, mushrooms, basil, pepper and salt. Return crust to grill; cover grill; cook 6 to 8 minutes longer until filling is heated through and cheese is melted, watching carefully to prevent bottom of pizza from burning|||use indirect heat light one side and place pizza on the other side. Best to heat first and turn off the side you plan to use. If you have a thermostat let it get close to 400 and place pizza on the side which is unlit close lid check and remove when bubbly about ten minutes from frozen.|||On Food Network .com, Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa show) tells you how to do this. Just enter "Ina Pizza" in the search box (w/o quotes) and it should pop up.
In general, high heat, lid on, 5-6 min.|||Everything that cooks on a BBQ grill has to flipped at some point to cook the other side. Maybe you could try turning the pizza into a calzone. Good luck.|||Real Quick, why would you cook a frozen pizza on a propane gas bbq grill? Just use an oven. It's the easiest way to cook a frozen pizza.
