You guys. .  I have been waiting to share this recipe with you. After this fabulous grilled pizza, I was grilling pizzas for a couple of weeks straight.

And I finally get to share my homemade pizza dough recipe!!! It makes enough for 4 pizzas so make the entire batch and freeze some dough balls for later! Believe me, after this, you’ll be firing up that grill a lot!!!! Just to make this breakfast pizza!

Here’s my new love. .  my new KitchenAid grill. She’s amazing. As are all of my other female countertop appliances and kitchen gadgets.

I might be eating breakfast pizza for the next month or so. Be sure to check out my post over at The Kitchenthusiast because I’ll be honest, making this pizza took a few tries. Grilling pizza on the grill isn’t completely easy. It just takes some practice and you’re sure to lose a few eggs in the process . .  you’ll understand what I mean if you try this recipe.

And I hope you do. .  because this pizza is AMAZING.  And yes, there is pesto involved.

    This breakfast pizza looks so much better than one I had here in Spain awhile ago. That pizza nearly put me off eating pizza forever – so imagine how bad it was! My favortie part is that it is grilled! How awesome is that!

    Your grill is SO purty. How did you get it to be so shiny and nice? Ours looks a lot rougher!
    If I told my husband you’ve been grilling pizzas for weeks, he’d leave me for you. I wouldn’t hold it against him. This one looks amazing, as did the asparagus one. You’re on a roll, girlfriend!
