Method
Mix the cheese, yogurt, herbs, and salt & pepper. Taste, and adjust to liking.
Slice cucumber and tomato.
Roll dough out and place on a baking sheet to take to your grill.
Heat grill on high and brush to clean.
Reduce heat to medium high heat, Wipe the grill with an oiled cloth or paper towel.
Place dough directly on grill (once the dough has been placed on the grill, do not attempt to move it other than to turn it).
Grill for about 2 to 3 minutes per side turning only once. I pay attention more to the dough than the time. The crust will bubble and you can watch for some color to appear around the edges. Flip using a pizza paddle or large spatula.
Remove the grilled crust and allow to cool.
Spread the crust with the herbed cheese mixture, arrange cucumbers and tomatoes, and garnish with some more fresh herbs.
Serve at room temperature.
Cooks Notes
Here is my easy recipe for Pizza Dough. Dough can be divided and frozen in freezer bags so all you have to do is thaw and use.
