Ingredients
  

Pizza dough
  • 1 lb pizza dough
Olive oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Pizza sauce
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Toppings
  • 1 Your choice of toppings
Fresh basil
  • 1 Fresh basil leaves
Parmesan cheese
  • 1 Grated Parmesan cheese
Flour for dusting
  • 1 Flour for dusting

Equipment

  • 1 Blackstone griddle

Method
 

Prep and preheat
  1. Heat Blackstone griddle to medium heat, then lightly oil the surface so the dough releases easily.
Cook the crust
  1. Divide pizza dough into 4 portions and stretch into thin rounds, dusting both sides with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Place dough directly on the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden and set.
  3. Flip the crust and quickly add pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and your choice of toppings to the cooked side.
Melt and finish
  1. Cover with a dome or large pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until the cheese melts and turns glossy.
  2. Remove the pizza from the griddle, then top with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese for a fresh, aromatic finish.
  3. Slice and serve immediately while the cheese is still bubbling.

Notes

For the fastest melt, keep toppings lean and evenly sized so they heat through during the covered cook. Store leftover pizzas in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat on the griddle or in a hot oven until warmed. Freezing isn’t recommended for best crust texture, but you can freeze baked dough rounds separately. Dietary swap: use low-moisture pizza sauce and part-skim mozzarella for a lighter option without changing the griddle method.
