Grilled Margherita Pizza with BBQ Char
Elevate your pizza night with this grilled Margherita, infused with smoky flavor and irresistibly crispy char marks. The dough is grilled directly over flames, yielding a wonderfully chewy crust with a delightful outdoor-cooked essence. It's then topped with a bright, simple tomato sauce, creamy fresh mozzarella, fragrant basil leaves, and a drizzle of olive oil, mirroring the classic Margherita profile. Grilling adds a unique textural contrast and a depth of flavor that baking alone can't achieve, distinguishing this Margherita pizza from its oven-baked counterparts. This method is surprisingly quick and creates a fantastic centerpiece for any summer gathering or casual weeknight meal, offering a fresh, flavorful, and slightly adventurous take on a beloved favorite.
