Photo: Grilled Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
- Canola oil, for frying
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
- Red pepper flakes
- 1 pound ground pork
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Paprika
- Cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1 store-bought pizza dough
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 jar favorite pizza sauce
- 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
Directions
Special equipment: 3-inch biscuit cutter
Preheat the grill over medium heat.
Coat a large saute pan over medium heat with canola oil. Add the fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, to taste, and the pork, and brown for about 3 minutes. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for a few more minutes, then stir in the parsley.
Stretch out the dough to make it wider. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a thin disk. Using a biscuit cutter, cut out circles and brush 1 side with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Put the dough circles on the grill, oil side down. Brush more oil on other side and season again with salt and pepper. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. When cooked remove them from the grill.
Top each mini pizza with desired amount of the pizza sauce, pork mixture and cheese. Return the pizzas to the grill and close the lid. Cook until the cheese melts and the pork mixture is warmed through, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Okay, Big Daddy's pizzas are terrific but I rarely use his recipes as they are toooo fattening for me. That does not mean I have to be mean about him. I like him and I watch him. He is fun. So why chop Melissa? She is a GOOD cook and I use a lot of her recipes. In terms of programming, his audience is more limited to cooks who like a lot of calories and hers is followed by those who keep watch on calories and money. Perhaps her show has a bigger and slimmer audience. Be nice!

I totally agree with the comment on Melissa she should not be in reruns she is not a good cook.She does not have nearly as many shows as Aron.. And on that note what about Adam Gertler he came in second against Aaron and he has add several failed shows on the Food Network. tt's as if they are determined to keep his face on the network. It leads me to wonder why is it a race thing. I'm very disappointed with the people at the top that make the decisions. I now watch very few shows on FN, and Aaron is one that I do. When I first choose my cable provider it was because they had the FN. Shame on you for wasting good talent and being determined to waste airtime on those with no talent.

We followed this recipe to the letter. It was the best pizza I have ever eaten. I will not be able to order pizza again! The sausage was so good. The fennel really adds great flavor. Thank you Big Daddy can't wait to try new recipes.
