This is one of my favorite grilled dishes. Featuring garden-fresh vegetables and a light pesto sauce, the pizzas are especially popular because each family member can add whatever toppings he or she prefers.—Martha Haseman, Hinckley, Illinois

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
1 tablespoon olive oil
PESTO:
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted sunflower kernels
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
TOPPINGS:
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 green onions, finely chopped
Coarsely ground pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flours, yeast, salt and sugar. Add water and oil; mix just until a soft dough forms. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes. Cover and let stand for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the pesto ingredients. Cover and process until smooth, scraping sides often. Set aside.
Divide dough into fourths. Roll each portion into a 6-in. circle. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack.
Prepare grill for indirect medium heat using a drip pan. Place dough over the direct heat area. Cover and cook for 1 minute or until puffed and golden. Turn and place dough over drip pan.
Spread pesto over crusts. Top with 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, onions, pepper, Parmesan and remaining mozzarella. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is lightly browned.

Editor's Note: Individual prebaked Italian bread shells may be substituted for the homemade crust.
