Homemade pizza sauce

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Heat sauce in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Bring to a low simmer, cooking until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.

For the pizza

1. Preheat the grill to high heat with the cover down. Clean the grates well. Allow the grill to heat up to at least 600°F.
2. Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a circle or oval. The dough should be room temp for easier rolling and optimal cooking. Use a pizza peel or well-floured flat baking sheet for easy transferring.
3. Brush the grates with oil using a basting brush. Transfer dough directly to the grill grates (remember, no toppings yet) and cook for 45-60 seconds with the lid closed. The crust should start to bubble all over.
4. Once the crust is firm enough to lift off the grill, flip the crust with a pizza peel, large spatula, or flat baking sheet.
5. Drizzle the crust with oil and season with sea salt. Add pizza sauce, leaving a 1-inch crust all the way around. Add the mozzarella, close the lid, and grill until the cheese is fully melted; about 4-5 minutes.
6. Remove from the grill and top with fresh chopped basil. Slice and serve.
