2. Cooking Directions
- Heat grill to medium-high.
- Meanwhile, place dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into an 8-inch round crust, about 1/4 inch thick. Place crusts on a floured baking sheet. Carry crusts and toppings out to the grill.
- Lay crusts on grill (they won't stay perfectly round). Cover grill and cook until crusts are lightly puffed and undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
- Using tongs, flip crusts. Immediately spread pesto over crusts. Top with tomatoes. Sprinkle with feta and pepper. Cover grill and cook until the undersides are lightly browned, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with basil and serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings

Not Complete !!!!!!!
Homan A - July 21, 2007 07:17:15 PM PSTAs a person who makes grilled pizza twice a month, the instructions missing a few things.
What should be the grill temp? Should I pre-heat?
Also it helps a lot and tastes much better if you brush a little olive oil on the dough before placing it on the grill.7 of 9 found this review helpful.

Too high fat
Stacey F - July 16, 2007 01:11:38 PM PST22 g of fat per serving??! Disgusting! That comes from likely the "prepared" pesto sauce. Skip the pesto, up the basil, brush on some olive oil and spinkle on some toasted pinenuts and presto, you\'ve cut your fat then more by half!
Otherwise, good.12 of 21 found this review helpful.

good with modifications
curiamagna - July 18, 2007 09:08:17 AM PSTIf you want a more semi-traditional pizza, use large chunks of fresh mozzarella instead of feta (muenster might be an interesting substitution as well), leave off the basil leaves, and add some oregano and rosemary to taste. It is excellent and a good way to use up leftover pesto (if you make your own) when you get tired of using it on pasta.
