We all know that grilling isn't just for meat, but have you ever grilled a pizza?
Grilling pizzas are taking off, and we decided we had to try this summer culinary trend out! Meet three grilled pizza ideas that we think you will love!
In the true spirit of WOT, we found a foolproof hack to make these pizzas easy and better for you (Nann bread is more nutrient dense than white dough or pita bread). Instead of working with raw dough, we purchased Naan bread instead. Naan works extremely well due to the bread having a bit of oil, and since it is already baked to a golden brown, it has great color and texture.
We created these three super easy pizza recipes to inspire you. Get creative, add your favorite toppings, and have fun. We made several, sliced them into smaller pieces and served them as a pre-dinner picky and they were great! These come together quickly and are a fun one to have the kids help you make.
