here you go brah one pizza smut supreme pizza I hope you like it
uh...tastes like cardboard
hey guys retired at 40 here I love my traeger and one of my favorite
things to make on the traeger is homemade pizza you make the crust homemade it turns out smoky and thick and crispy
it's unlike any kind of pizza you can get from delivery
today we're gonna make a chicken barbecue pizza but you can swap out any
of the ingredients for your own as we go the best part about the traeger pizza is
the homemade crust it's thick and crispy and it gets a smoky flavor to it so our
first step is to mix 1 cup of warm water
with one tablespoon of yeast and we're going to let that set for about 5
minutes and it should get some bubbles in it and if it doesn't have bubbles then
that means the the yeast is no good when you see the bubbles that means that the
yeast are still alive alright next step is 2 tablespoons of olive oil and then 2
tablespoons of honey
okay next we need one teaspoon of salt we use Himalayan pink salt you can use a
regular table salt if you want and then last thing that goes in is half a cup of
wheat flour because this is whole-wheat pizza crust
all right and then we throw
ours in the KitchenAid mixer
okay so I've transferred ours into the
mixer bowl I've added another cup of flour into here it's starting to get
that thicker texture now so I've got a cup and a half total of flour in here
and and I just want to make of it for a while and then you add as much as
necessary our recipe calls for two and a half
total but it kind of just depends on a lot of different variables so just kind
of add some as you go just to see
okay we're adding another half cup of
wheat flour so now we're up to two cups give that a try and see what it looks
like
alright so we put about two cups of flour in ours you can actually if you
add too much flour you can add a little bit of water here and there just not too
much just to get back down to the right consistency and kind of see ours is
starting the ball up now and you can knead this by hand or you can use this
to the mixer sometimes we do a combination of both just to get that
right consistency but this is a pretty important step because if your
consistency isn't right you're it's not gonna turn out very well alright so your
dough should look similar to that the kneading not only makes the consistency
better but it'll actually get the air bubbles out of there also so you want to
add a little bit of oil to the bottom of a pan and then cover the outside of the
dough with oil and throughout the pan and then you want to take some plastic
wrap and cover the top of it and then this needs to go in a warm dry place for
the dough to rise we like to use the oven just turn it on to about 150 and
once it gets to 150 just turn it off so it's warm stick it in the oven and let
it sit for about half an hour the dough will start to rise and get nice and
poufy and then we'll roll it out now that our crust is set in here for about
half an hour you can see that it's just about doubled in size it's looking real
good it gets real puffy once that yeast starts to rise and makes for a real nice
crust so right before we roll out our crust
smoke and load that warm-up for five or ten minutes and in the meantime we're
gonna go rule out some crust okay so extra bonus for all you guys
that have stuck around this actually makes two pizzas so split your dough in
half and right now I'm just going to do one you can repeat once you're once
you're done with the first one
so let's make the edge just kind of take
it with your fingers and pinch pinch the edges you can make it thicker or thinner
however you want it okay so next you just need to take this and lift it up
sometimes if it's a little sticky you can just do one side at a time you can
also fold it over but you want to transfer this onto a pan and then we'll
head out to the traeger
okay so next we need it take it up from smoke
up to 375 or if your grill will do 400 then do 400 ours goes from 375 to 450
so 450 is way too much so we do 375 and then as soon as that gets up to
temperature then you can throw your pizza on okay next step just take some
olive oil you just want to put it
let's put it on this top crust to keep it from sticking to the grates
because this side is actually going to go down
onto the grates
okay quick hands
okay so once you're all oiled up oiled side goes down on the grate
you can do that however you want to I like to do it kind of one motion
you can see this other one's been on here already for a little bit and once
they once they're ready you can kind of start you can get a spatula under them
let them sit in there for a little bit longer okay this has been on here for
probably five six seven minutes maybe kind of just test it with your spatula
and see if it moves really you might get a couple air bubbles or whatever but
you ideally want the bottom side to be crispy okay so to make your life easier
you just want to olive oil the other side now the same thing just brush
brush all around
ok then we're gonna give it the flip
you're not trying to make it crispy yet you just want to cook
so we like to involve the kids with cooking whenever we can this is a good
time to do it because they can choose their own toppings for the pizzas so
usually we'll do an adult pizza with the stuff that we like and then a kid pizza
for what they like for our sauce we do for the chicken barbecue we do
half pizza sauce and half homemade barbecue sauce you can check out our
recipe for our traeger barbecue sauce in another video I'll put a link in the
description for you
so for our chicken barbecue we like to do chicken
bacon with our half pizza sauce and half barbecue sauce mixture
we usually top ours
a little bit of garlic from the garden and some sliced mozzarella the kids are
going to do sausage and pepperoni and mushrooms on theirs
alright are you guys happy with your pizzas you got everything on there that
you want alright look at those delicious things so we loaded ours up pretty thick
and the thing that we love about the pizzas on the traeger is its convection
style so it'll cook the bottom and the top at the same time so even if it's
thick and full of stuff it'll still cook it and
make it nice and crispy okay so keep everything on 400
and depending on how much you loaded yours up
might be kind of hefty but should this slide off
real nice on to the grill
okay close your lid and keep it on there for three to five minutes well there you
go once your pizzas to your liking just
pull it off the traeger and cut it up in hey bro can I get a slice sure man oh
thanks man this is righteous
Hey Man you care if I
