Ingredients

Bruschetta Mix

½ lb./255 g/1 package

cherry tomatoes

2 cloves

garlic, grated/minced

½

red onion, diced

1 tbsp.

olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste


Pizza

1 package

premade pizza dough

3 tbsp.

cornmeal

2 tbsp.

garlic oil

¼ cup

tomato sauce 

½ cup

shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup

crumbled feta cheese


Garnish

Shredded basil to taste

Balsamic reduction

Method
  1. The longer you can let your bruschetta mix marinate, the better the flavor will be, so before you start anything else, slice the cherry tomatoes, combine them with the garlic and red onion, stir in the olive oil and season to taste. You can set this aside in the fridge or on the counter.  
  2. Place the pizza stone onto the grill over direct heat, and begin preheating the grill to between 400 to 450°F.
  3. While the barbecue is preheating, shred the cheese and begin rolling out the dough on a floured work surface. Once the barbecue is hot, sprinkle a pizza spatula and the pizza stone with cornmeal and lay the rolled-out dough onto the pizza stone. Brush the crust with the garlic oil.
  4. Bake the dough for a few minutes, until the bottom is a little crispy. Flip the dough over and spread a layer of pizza sauce and top with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake with the lid down for a few minutes to melt the cheese. Brush the crust where there isn’t sauce with any remaining garlic oil. 
  5. Top the pizza with the fresh bruschetta mix and top that with crumbled feta, baking until everything is hot and the crust is baked through.
  6. Remove the pizza from the barbecue, leaving the stone. Allow the stone and grill to cool together. 
  7. Slice the pizza into portions and top with a drizzle of balsamic reduction and a sprinkling of fresh basil.
