Now that you have a great grill, lets get to grilling some flatbread! You'll start off by making an easy dough. We use this same recipe to make pizza dough. It works for flatbread or pizza.

You'll get between 8 and 10 flatbreads from this recipe depending on how big you make them.

This stuff cooks up quick on the grill. Just love those char marks!

We used basil pesto on this grilled flatbread. I recently saw some sun dried tomato pesto at the store and can't wait to try that on these flatbreads. I am getting hungry just thinking about it!

Topped with perfection in the form of fresh mozzarella cheese and sun dried tomatoes.

The fresh mozzarella melts beautifully with the top of the grill closed.

You can also try this with goat cheese and the results would be equally fantastic!
