Bread Dough on the Grill

Yes you can bake bread dough on an outdoor grill.
It bakes up nice with grill marks and smoky flavor.
Sometimes it puffs up like pita pocket bread.
It's great for dipping into a marinara sauce.
Add sauce cheese and toppings for making pizza.

Bake another 5 minutes or until done.
Remove and serve along with dipping sauce
and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese.
