A quick and delicious grilled pizza recipe featuring a simple homemade dough made with Greek yogurt and flour, topped with tangy pizza sauce, fresh mozzarella, and peppery arugula, perfect for a light and flavorful meal ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup all-purpose or white whole wheat flour (5 oz)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup 0% Stonyfield Greek yogurt

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups baby arugula
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Additional

  • Flour for dusting
  • Oil for grilling grates

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt thoroughly by whisking.
  2. Add Yogurt: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork or spatula until the mixture forms small crumbles.
  3. Knead Dough: Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, transfer the dough onto it, and knead it about 20 times until it becomes tacky but not sticky, ensuring it doesn't leave residue on your hands.
  4. Preheat Grill: Clean the grill thoroughly and preheat it on high heat with the lid closed.
  5. Divide Dough: Divide the dough into 4 equal balls, each approximately 3 to 3 3/8 ounces in weight.
  6. Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour the work surface and rolling pin, then roll each dough ball into thin oval shapes.
  7. Prepare Grill Grates: Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking before placing the dough.
  8. Grill Dough: Place the rolled dough directly onto the hot grill grates, cover, and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the dough is cooked through.
  9. Add Sauce and Cheese: Remove the grilled dough, spread 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce evenly over each crust, then top each with 1 ounce of sliced mozzarella cheese.
  10. Melt Cheese on Grill: Return the topped pizzas to the grill, cover, and cook for about 1 minute or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  11. Add Arugula and Season: Remove the pizzas from the grill, top with fresh baby arugula, and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  12. Serve Immediately: Serve the grilled pizzas hot right away for the best flavor and texture.
  13. Oven Alternative: If using an oven, bake the dough at 450°F for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through baking, before adding the sauce and cheese.

Notes

  • Use either all-purpose or white whole wheat flour based on preference or dietary needs.
  • Ensure the grill grates are well oiled to prevent dough from sticking.
  • Roll the dough thinly for a crispier crust.
  • Use fresh mozzarella thinly sliced for even melting.
  • The recipe yields 4 individual pizzas, ideal for serving 4 people.
  • For best results, serve the pizza immediately after topping with arugula to maintain freshness.
