Grilled Pizza Minis Recipes

GRILLED PIZZA

Steps:

• Special equipment: 3-inch biscuit cutter
• Preheat the grill over medium heat.
• Coat a large saute pan over medium heat with canola oil. Add the fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, to taste, and the pork, and brown for about 3 minutes. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for a few more minutes, then stir in the parsley.
• Stretch out the dough to make it wider. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a thin disk. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out circles and brush 1 side with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the dough circles on the grill, oil side down. Brush more oil on other side and season again with salt and pepper. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. When cooked remove them from the grill.
• Top each mini pizza with desired amount of the pizza sauce, pork mixture and cheese. Return the pizzas to the grill and close the lid. Cook until the cheese melts and the pork mixture is warmed through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

ZOE'S EASY, RUSTIC MINI PIZZAS

Steps:

• Mix flour, water, olive oil, yeast, salt, and sugar together in a large bowl. Use an ice cream scoop to place 12 balls of dough onto the prepared pan, patting down slightly; dough will be very sticky. Let sit until risen, about 30 minutes, without kneading or punching down.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking pan. Toss an ice cube into the bottom of the oven to add some humidity.
• Combine tomato sauce, garlic, oregano, and basil in a bowl. Add olive oil, vinegar, and sugar; stir very well.
• Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons tomato sauce on each dough ball. Sprinkle 1 to 4 tablespoons mozzarella cheese on top and add spinach.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

GRILLED PIZZA MINI'S

Steps:

• Light your grill. It should be medium heat.
• Roll our refrigerated dough (or your own recipe)to desired thickness. Use a biscuit or cookie cutter (can or glass will work too), to make circles of the rolled out dough. (You can re-roll the scraps to use them up too). **** You can have fun by making hearts, stars or other shapes! Place these on wax paper lined pan that has a light sprinkle of flour on it.
• Slice up the cheese and tomatoes. Pull the leaves off of basil bunch stems. Gather up your spices and olive oil... and head out to the grill!
• Put a brushing of olive oil on both sides of dough circles. Place on grill, cook about 3 minutes or until there are nice grill marks. Turn over, sprinkle crusts lightly with garlic powder. Add the tomatoes, then cheese, then basil leaves (one or two leaves). Salt and Pepper to taste. Grill until the cheese melts. (About 3 - 5 minutes), all the while making sure your pizzas aren't burning or near a "hot spot".
• *** If you don't care for these ingredients... make them with cooked sausage bits, pepperoni, veggies that are sauted and a little pizza or spaghetti sauce. How ever your family likes them... *** Don't be afraid of making too many... if they aren't eaten right away... they are good cold or reheated later! *** You can do the prep for this recipe ahead of time so you aren't rushed and can relax and enjoy your family and friends... *** I have made bigger ones using flour tortillas and pita bread... they are good too.
