Instructions

Preheat the Blackstone griddle: Set burners to medium heat and allow the griddle to heat thoroughly. Lightly oil the griddle surface.

Stretch the dough: On a floured surface, stretch or roll the dough into a 10–12 inch circle or oval. Don’t make it too thick—aim for about 1/4 inch thick.

Cook the crust (side one): Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil on the griddle. Place the dough directly onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and slightly puffed.

Flip & top: Flip the dough using a spatula. Quickly spread the pizza sauce over the cooked side, then add cheese and your favorite toppings.

Finish cooking: Cover the pizza with a melting dome or large metal bowl to trap heat and help the cheese melt. Cook for another 4–6 minutes, or until the crust is cooked through and cheese is bubbly.

Serve: Carefully remove from the griddle, garnish with fresh basil or red pepper flakes if desired, slice, and enjoy hot!

Notes

Use a griddle dome or foil pan to help the cheese melt evenly.
Thin-crust style works best—avoid thick dough or overloaded toppings.
Want extra crisp? After cheese melts, move pizza to direct heat for 30 seconds.
