Creating the Ultimate Pizza using the BBQ Hack, PIZZA Hack


Creating the Ultimate Pizza using the BBQ Hack, PIZZA Hack

AT HOME 




MAKING THE DOUGH 
I have had great luck using the Ninja food processor using the dough blade to mix up all the ingredients. You could also use a mixer that has a dough hook. 

INGREDIENTS
4 cups flour, I have found using “00” flour to work the best. It tends to hold together well later on when rolling the dough out thin. 
1/4 oz instant yeast, Fleischmann’s packets work well for this and are pre-measured
2 tsp. salt, I use Kosher salt 
2 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. dried oregano
1-2 Tbsp. minced garlic, you can cut or use the pre-cut stuff in the jar
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 1/2 cups warm water (anywhere between 90F and 110F is perfect)



After mixing all the ingredients in the mixer, I let it run in the mixer for two or three minutes. 
Remove the dough from the mixer and place it in glass bowl, with a small amount of olive oil coating the inside of the bowl. 
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise for about a half hour. 

ROLLING THE DOUGH  OUT 
When the time comes to roll the dough out, place a small amount of flour on the counter top and start rolling. I have never been successful at getting the dough in a round shape, and hey that’s okay. The pizza stone you are going to place it on is square anyway. 
Before placing the toppings on it, put a small amount of corn meal on the pizza peel you are going to use to transfer the pizza to the grill with. The corn meal will help the dough slide off nicely. 
Don’t use any corn meal on the pizza stone itself, as the high temperatures of the Pizza Hack will just burn it up. 
For the top of the pizza sauce, I have found Muir Glen organic pizza sauce to be better than others I am able to get at my grocery store. 
I use mozzarella cheese and pepperoni then. Of course, use whatever toppings you like. 
When placing the pepperoni on the pizza, I put them on after the sauce and top it all with the mozzarella cheese.  


I also will swap it up and make a bbq chicken pizza using your favorite bbq sauce, chicken that has already been cooked and some purple onions. Finish the pizza off with fresh cilantro after it comes out of the Pizza Hack. 
I check the temperature inside the Pizza Hack, with an infrared thermometer, pointing at the pizza stone getting the reading. With the Traeger set at 450 degrees on the controller, I let the Pizza Hack do the rest and will place the pizza on the stone when it gets around 650 degrees or hotter. 
Using a pizza peel is a must to keep your hands away from the heat. 
Slide the pizza off onto the Pizza Hack pizza stone and have a stopwatch or timer close by. I set it for two minutes and check the doneness of the pizza, looking at the bottom crust and the cheese melted on top. If the pizza needs more time, I rotate the pizza 180 degrees and let it cook another minute, maybe two. Keep a close eye on the pizza as the extreme heat created by the Pizza Hack could turn your masterpiece into a burnt mess fast. 
When cooking the pizza on the Pizza Hack you can keep the Traeger grill lid open, or shut it.

Depending upon the amount of humidity and elevation could change the outcome of your pizza.
