Smoked Margarita Pizza

So we have been wanting to make pizza on the Traeger smoker but always thought we needed a pizza tray or something!!  BUT NOPE!!  This was SO delicious!!!


Ingredients:
16oz ball pizza dough (Trader Joes has great dough or you can get frozen dough from Cub and just let it thaw and rise)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cornmeal
14oz pizza sauce of choice
8oz mozzarella
1-2 roma tomatoes
1 pint grape/cherry tomatoes
fresh basil

Preheat the Traeger or your wood pellet grill to 450 degrees.  This works best on a clean grill.

Stretch the pizza dough out with your hands and a rolling pin with the olive oil.

Dust the dough lightly with the cornmeal to help with sticking to the grill.

Lay the dough on the grill for 5 minutes to cook one side.  Remove to from the grill and flip the dough so that the grilled side is facing up.  This is the side you'll put sauce and toppings on.  The bottom side should be the raw side.

Spread the sauce and lay on the cheese and tomatoes.

Place the pizza back on the grill for 8-1o minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is melted.

Remove the grill, top with basil, cut and serve.
