Ingredients

1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough
1/2 cup pesto sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Olive oil for brushing
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush one side of the flatbread with olive oil.
Grill the Flatbread: Place the oiled side down on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until grill marks appear and the dough starts to puff up.

Add Toppings: Flip the flatbread, spread pesto sauce over the grilled side, and top with mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
Finish Grilling: Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh basil, and season with salt and pepper. Slice and serve warm.
