pellets: Any Makes: three 12" round cast iron skillet pizzas These pizzas are delicious served as an appetizer or maybe even a side. You can go as crazy as you want with the toppings or add only a few.
I like to mix it up with each pizza, as you can see from the photos.
Dough:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons yeast
6 oz warm water
Toppings:
Red/Green bell pepper
1 Zucchini
Half an onion
Half head garlic
5 strips bacon
1 cup yellow cherry tomatoes, halved
Goat cheese
Green olives, sliced Kalamata Olives,
sliced Jalapeños, sliced
Olive oil Good quality balsamic vinegar for drizzling Preparation:
Preparation:
Start by mixing together the ingredients for crust. Combine flour, sugar, salt, yeast and water in bowl of stand mixer. Mix on med/low for 10 minutes. If dough seems sticky, add a bit of flour one tablespoon at a time until it comes away from bowl. If it seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time. Dough should be smooth and elastic. Divide into 3 balls. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a round that will fit into your 12” skillet. Should be quite thin. Grease your skillet with olive oil or spray. If you have 3 skillets that’s great! If not, just leave your pizza crust out on the counter, once it's rolled out. (Remember not to top until it is in the skillet.) Once the crust is in the skillet or the counter resting, get your veggies ready to grill. Turn the Traeger on smoke with lid open until the fire is established, 4-5 minutes. Next, turn the grill on high and close the lid to preheat for 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the peppers, zucchini, garlic, and onion with olive oil and salt. Arrange on a grilling grate and place on Traeger once it's preheated. Check after 10 minutes. Remove the zucchini and add the bacon. (Note: Zucchini normally takes less time to cook than the other veggies) Continue cooking the other vegetables until bacon is done, about ten minutes or so. Leaving Traeger on, transfer all toppings to cutting board and let cool while you chop olives, tomatoes and jalapeños. Brush crust with olive oil and using a fork smash the roasted garlic into the crust and smear as best you can without tearing the crust. It doesn't have to be perfect!
Next, add toppings to the prepared crust in skillet. Cook on Traeger for about 20 minutes until edges are brown. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, slice and serve.
The only thing left to do now if slice and enjoy!
