Get adventurous with your grill - Cook Pizza on a Plank
Time to get adventurous with your grill.
Pizza is one of the most popular foods in the world. But homemade pizza rarely hits the crispy-chewy-charred trifecta—and that’s because many of us don’t own a wood-burning oven. Enter PIZZA ON A PLANK: Make Wood-Fired Pizza on Your Grill! by employing one brilliant, simple trick—cooking pizzas on a wooden plank—you can transform your gas or charcoal grill into an appliance that rivals any pizza oven.
PIZZA ON A PLANK offers an easy-to-follow introduction to plank grilling, including where to buy food-safe planks (they’re sold affordably at places like Home Depot and Costco), the best methods for soaking and seasoning them (the added moisture from soaking makes the plank resist burning, prolonging its use), gas vs. charcoal plank-grilling techniques, how to pair different woods (such as hickory, cedar, alder, and mesquite) with their ideal pizza toppings, and much more.
