AP: Grilled pizza a hot idea

Great pizza on the grill requires some serious speed.
And while that makes grilled pizza an excellent weeknight dinner candidate in summer, it also means you need to pay more attention to prep than you normally might. So here’s what you need to know.
The dough
You can buy prepared dough from the grocer, but for the best quality go to your favorite pizza joint and ask to buy a ball of dough. If you won’t use it right away, keep your dough refrigerated. But before you try to stretch it out, let it come to room temperature for about an hour. If you don’t, the dough will be tough and refuse to stretch.
The toppings
Because pizza cooks so quickly on the grill, most toppings need to be thinly sliced and fully prepared before they get on the pizza. For example, fresh vegetables added to a pizza on the grill won’t have time to soften. You will need to grill or sauté them separately before putting them on the pizza.
The method
Unlike oven-baked pizza, grilled pizza is assembled on the grill, not in the kitchen. That’s because an assembled pizza will burn on the bottom before it has time to cook through.
To avoid that, start by placing the plain dough on the hot grill and cooking the bottom. The dough then is flipped and the toppings are added to what formerly was the bottom.
