Ingredients

  • 1 pound prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat
  • 1/2 cup prepared pesto
  • 4 ripe plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves, torn

Cooking Directions

Step 1


Heat grill to medium-high.

Step 2


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.

Step 3


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.

Step 4


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.
