How do you grill pizza without burning the bottom?
Chef's answer
Flash-cook the dough first, with a little bit of olive oil. But use too much and it can cause flare-ups on the grill, leaving the pizza burnt. She also suggests flash-cooking the pizza dough for a minute on each side. She says it creates a firmer dough, making it easier to add toppings, while also minimizing sogginess.
