Method:
1. In a small bowl, combine honey, vinegar and thyme; mix well. Place zucchini slices and bell peppers on oiled grid. Grill over medium-hot coals 20-25 minutes, turning and brushing with honey mixture every 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from grill cool to room temperature. Coarsely chop.
2. Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray a cookie sheet or jelly-roll pan with cooking spray; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons wheat germ.
3. In a large bowl, combine baking mix, one-half cup wheat germ and milk; stir with fork until thoroughly combined (mixture will be moist). Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead, adding additional flour as needed, until dough is no longer sticky. Pat into a 12×8-inch rectangle on a cookie sheet. Top with chopped grilled vegetables, tomatoes and cheese. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cut into squares. Serve immediately.
