In other words you need this grilled pizza recipe.

Ingredient List:

  • Bob's Red Mill Pizza Crust. This crust package can make 1 large thick pizza crust or 2 medium thin crusts. However, the entire  dough has to be made up at once. Fortunately, it isn't a problem consuming all that pizza in our family. And if needed, pizza leftovers are the best. *This pizza crust does have an egg free option on the bag.
  • oil (grape seed oil works fantastic)
  • BBQ sauce, Gayle's Sweet 'N' Sassy BBQ Sauce tastes amazing and is available here for purchase. Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce is also an allergen friendly brand.
  • baked or grilled chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works excellent too)
  • bacon
  • pineapple tidbits
  • thinly sliced red onion
  • shreds of dairy free cheese (Follow Your Heart Smoked Gouda tastes lovely)
  • top with chopped cilantro
  • other pizza toppings would work lovely on this grilled crust too. Follow the same similar steps with pizza sauce and other toppings.

Grilling Tips:

It might be intimidating to grill a gluten and dairy free crust. I'll admit it was for me the first time I grilled pizza this way.

We know how finicky gluten and dairy free anything can be. And I know you feel me on this one!

Let me highlight a few tips to make this grilled Hawaiian BBQ chicken pizza less intimidating for you.

A hand pushing down raw pizza dough onto a pizza pan.

First, follow the Bob's Red Mill package directions to roll out the dough. To do this I placed parchment paper on my pizza pan and lightly spray with nonstick spray. I placed the dough in the middle of the pan and topped with saran wrap. Gently push the dough into a large circle about the size of the pizza pan. This took a few minutes of pushing and pulling.

After the dough is the shape you'd like, brush the top with  1-2 tablespoons of oil.

Move close to your preheated grill with the pizza dough on the pizza pan. Flip the dough directly onto the grill and remove the pan and parchment paper from the top of the pizza. Again brush dough with 1-2 tablespoons of oil and close the grill lid for 4-5 minutes.

I found two large spatulas worked best to flip the pizza onto the other side. After you've flipped the pizza, brush with BBQ sauce and place toppings. Then, lower the grill lid for another 5 minutes.
