Instructions
-
Preheat Blackstone griddle to low heat (450–500°F).

Sauté sliced veggies in remaining oil on the griddle for 3–5 minutes. Set aside.

Place dough on the griddle. Cook raw dough for about 2 minutes per side, pre-cooked dough for 1–2 minutes.

For extra crispiness, reheat leftovers on the griddle instead of the microwave.
