parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option with a cheesy flavor.

pepperoni

🥗Healthier: turkey pepperoni

💰Cheaper: salami

Turkey pepperoni offers a leaner alternative.

In a large bowl, add 1 cup of warm water, 1 package of active dry yeast, and a pinch of sugar.

Let the yeast mixture proof until it's brothy, about 10 minutes.

Add 2 tsp of kosher salt, 1 tbsp of olive oil, and 3 1/3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture.

Mix until it forms a dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 8 minutes.

Place the dough into a well-oiled bowl, cover with a damp kitchen cloth, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the doubled dough and mix in 2 cloves of finely minced garlic and 1 tbsp of chopped fresh basil.

Place the dough back into the oiled bowl and let it rise until doubled again, about 1 hour.

Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil with 1 tsp of minced garlic in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Prepare the toppings: 1/4 cup of tomato sauce, 1 cup of chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup of sliced black olives, and 1/4 cup of sliced roasted red peppers.

Top with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 4 tsp of chopped fresh basil.

Preheat the grill to high heat.

Punch down the dough and divide it in half, forming each half into an oblong shape 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick.

Brush the grill grate with garlic-flavored oil and place one piece of dough on the hot grill.

When the bottom of the crust has started to lightly brown, flip the dough using tongs or a spatula.

Brush some garlic oil on the top and spoon about 2 tbsp of tomato sauce on it.

Sprinkle half of the toppings over the sauce: tomatoes, olives, and peppers.

Finish with cheese and fresh basil, then close the grill lid and cook until the cheese melts.

Remove the cooked pizza and prepare the second one in the same way.
