how to make Margherita Pizza

  1. If you are making the sauce, then mix all of the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl
  2. Spread sauce on Naan bread – make it as thick or as thin as you prefer
  3. Add cheese slices, and then tomato slices
  4. Squeeze the garlic out of the bulbs, and sprinkle the roasted garlic on pizzas
  5. Grill over low/medium heat for about 12-15 minutes
  6. When the cheese has melted, and the sauce has warmed through the pizzas are ready to pull off of the grill
  7. Add basil and ground pepper

Notes

Grilling Tips:

  • If the crust is darkening too quickly, you can place aluminum foil under the bread – you can also use a baking sheet or pizza stone as a barrier between the flame and crust
  • Another trick is to turn every other burner off so the flame is not directly under the whole pizza and move the pizzas around every five minutes to ensure the crust cooks evenly

Baking Alternative:

  •  Bake on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes – or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown
