Instructions
- Fill the firebox of the Big Green Egg with charcoal to just under the fire ring and light. Get to a steady temperature of 450°F.
- Set up the Egg for indirect cooking such as using the Big Green Egg convEGGtor (legs down) alone or 2 half moon baking stones on a grill grate. Place the pizza stone on top. Allow to heat 10-15 minutes.
- On a pizza paddle (or bake sheet), spread a fine layer of corn meal.
- Roll out the pizza dough to desired size and thickness and transfer to the pizza paddle.
- On the dough, layer the pizza sauce, shredded cheese, tomato, and fresh mozzarella.
- Gently shake the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake 10-15 minutes until cheese is melty, toasty on top, and crust is crispy and cooked through.
- Slice pizza into 8 slices. Drizzle balsamic glaze over. Serve.
Notes
Balsamic glaze is a sweet reduction of balsamic vinegar, found in the same section of the grocery store as vinegars and oils.
If using a regular grill, simply place your pizza stone on the grill grate to heat and proceed.
