Description

Make a bold, flavorful pizza with a grilled crust and deeply crisped pepperoni cups using this straightforward recipe.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough, formed into 2 balls
  • Kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup cremini mushroom slices
  • 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 1 (5-ounce) package HORMEL® Pepperoni Cup N’ Crisp
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Lightly oil 2 medium bowls. Place 1 dough ball in each bowl. Lightly grease tops of dough balls. Cover each bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise at room temperature until doubled, about 2 hours.
  2. On a floured surface, roll 1 dough ball into a disk about 12-inches by 10-inches and 1/4-inch thick. Shake off excess flour and place on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the second dough ball, placing parchment between them if stacking.
  3. Heat your grill to medium-high using indirect heat.
  4. Brush the top of 1 dough round with a thin layer of oil. Season with kosher salt. Place the dough gently on the hot side of the grill, oiled side down.
  5. Immediately brush the top side with a thin layer of oil and season with salt. Cook for 45 to 90 seconds, moving it to encourage even browning until the bottom is dark brown and charred in spots and the top is bubbly.
  6. Flip the dough using tongs or a large spatula and cook until the second side is charred. Flip again and transfer the dough to the cooler side of the grill.
  7. Top the grilled dough with 1/4 cup pizza sauce, half of the cheeses, mushrooms, and olives. Generously top with pepperoni slices.
  8. Cover the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese melts and the pepperoni crisps.
  9. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board using a large spatula or metal pizza peel. Sprinkle with basil.
  10. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make the second pizza.

Notes

  • The high heat of the grill creates a blistered crust and crisps the pepperoni edges beautifully.
  • Watch the dough closely on the grill; the cooking time can vary based on grill temperature.
