But have you ever thought about cooking Papa Murphy's pizza on a Traeger grill? This article will guide you through the process of cooking your favorite Papa Murphy's pizza on a Traeger grill.
Why Cook Papa Murphy's Pizza on Traeger Grill?
Cooking pizza on a Traeger grill gives it a smoky flavor that you cannot achieve with an indoor oven. The grill also cooks the pizza evenly, ensuring that the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted to perfection.
Ingredients
Before you start cooking, make sure you have the following ingredients:
Papa Murphy's pizza
Extra virgin olive oil
Cornmeal
Preparing the Grill
Preheat your Traeger grill to 450°F. Once the grill is hot, scrape the grates clean and brush them with olive oil to prevent the pizza from sticking. Sprinkle some cornmeal on the grates to create a non-stick surface for the pizza.
Preparing the Pizza
Remove the pizza from the packaging and place it on a pizza peel or a cutting board. Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil to give it a golden-brown color. You can also add your favorite toppings at this stage.
Cooking the Pizza
Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot Traeger grill using the pizza peel or cutting board. Close the lid and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Checking the Pizza
Check the pizza frequently to ensure that it does not burn. If it does, move it to a cooler part of the grill and reduce the temperature. Once the pizza is cooked, remove it from the grill using the pizza peel or cutting board.
Serving the Pizza
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. You can serve the pizza with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Cleaning the Grill
After cooking, turn off the Traeger grill and allow it to cool. Once it has cooled, remove the grates and clean them with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the grill with a damp cloth and store it in a dry place.
Conclusion
Cooking Papa Murphy's pizza on a Traeger grill is an excellent way to add a smoky flavor to your favorite pizza. With these simple steps, you can cook your pizza to perfection and impress your guests with your grilling skills. Try it today and enjoy a delicious homemade pizza with a twist.
