BLT Pizza on the Cobb Grill
« Reply #-1 on: April 17, 2015, 01:14:33 PM »
This will be my third try at getting a good pizza off of my little Cobb Grill. First two efforts were ok but I am sure I can do better with the high temperature cooks.



About an hour before my dough was ready, I fired up the Cobb with about as much lump  charcoal as it would hold. Started my fire and when it had a good start, I placed the cooking grid on the cooker as I wanted at least a 45 minute warmup. 



My ingredients were a package of pre-cooked bacon, mozzarella cheese, Miracle Whip, lettuce, and Ro-Tel diced tomatoes & green chilies. I also made up enough dough for these two pizzas and some focaccia bread.   



Formed the first pizza into about a 9” flat and then spread on the Miracle Whip. I then added some bacon.



Next step was to add some cheese.



As soon as the cooker was as hot as it was going to get, I loaded my first pizza.



The first pizza took about 12 minutes and after I pulled it off, I added the second pizza.

Both pizzas came out well except I would have liked to have a little more browning on the top sides. I know what to do to fix that on my next bake. The crusts were nice and crunchy and that is what I wanted.



I added the chopped up lettuce, the Ro-Tel tomatoes and green chilies, and some more bacon and then cut the pizzas up for serving.





The crust looked great and the pizzas were very good. I think the Cobb can cook a pretty fair pizza.

That looks great. I really like the BLT concept - great idea! I'm not a Miracle Whip fan - what do you think about using straight Hellman's? That crust bottom looked very good. Maybe give the top a quick touch on the grill and flip it before you add the rest of the ingredients?

drholly,

Mayo is probably a better product for this pizza. Most recipes do call for it. I think to get it to brown better on the top side is to brush on a little evoo around the edges of the dough.

Good idea - will try it. Thanks!
