Game day pizza

GREEN BAY - Looking for a great game day recipe? We found it! Just head over to Festival Foods and pick up some of their new bake-at-home pizza crust.

DIRECTIONS:
Roll pizza dough out until desired thickness. Try your first one about 1/8" thick and then adjust to your liking. Brush with a small amount of olive oil. Take it out and grill it on one side. Your grill should be med to med-low.
You know it is ready when it gets grill marks on the side that is down and it looks partially cooked (this is why you don't want your dough to thick or it won't cook through before it needs to be removed so it won't burn).

Remove from grill and add whatever toppings you want.

Pepperoni is number one in the United States.
New ideas like using fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, Sautéed Zucchini or Shrimp and pesto are just a few.

After putting toppings on, put on cookie sheet to transfer back to grill. Place pizzas on grill and close lid so the toppings melt and cook together while dough finishes cooking through. Keep checking until toppings are done and the bottom has grill marks. Remove, let cool for a few minutes and serve.

Great for every day but a “WOW” for the football season!

Sauces - Olive oil with garlic, traditional pizza sauce, pesto, barbeque sauce, alfredo sauce, or any jar or canned spaghetti sauce.

Toppings - grilled chicken sliced, shrimp, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, tomato slices, artichoke hearts, olives, sausage, pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, pepper strips, onion slices and anything else you create.
