Ingredients

1 recipe pizza dough <-- I love this one
4 strips bacon
1/3 onion chopped
1/2 red pepper seeded and sliced
1/2 green pepper seeded and sliced
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tbs olive oil
3/4 cup pizza sauce
Pepperoni sliced
1/2 cup mushrooms sliced
pesto <-- make your own - so easy - so delicious!
1/2 cup fresh cherry tomatoes
4 oz mozarella shredded
6 oz fresh burrata
fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

Prep your grill for cooking. If using charcoal, get the coals going or preheat your gas grill.
In a skillet over medium high heat, fry the bacon until crispy. Drain and allow to cool on a towel lined plate.
In the same pan, toss the peppers and onions until tender. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds longer. Remover from heat and set aside.
Roll out the dough, one at a time, and allow to rest for a few minutes to hold it's shape without pulling pack.
Brush oil over the dough and grill, oil side down
Toss the dough onto the grill and grill for 2-4 minutes. Flip and quickly spoon a few tablespoons of pizza sauce over the dough.
Top the pizza with half of the sauteed veggies, fresh pepperoni slices, 2 pieces of bacon, crumbled, fresh burrata dollops and a sprinkle of mozzarella.
With the lid closed, cook 5 to 6 minutes longer, allowing the cheese to melt.
Carefully remove from heat. Sprinkle the pesto and fresh basil over the pizzas immediately.
Allow the pizza to sit for a few minutes before slicing to serve.
