Steps

  • Step 1

    At least two hours before baking, remove the dough from the refrigerator and shape into a ball by gathering the dough towards the bottom and pinching shut. Dust well with flour and place in a medium bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size.

    Ingredients
    • 1  (1 lb) ball of store bought pizza dough

  • Step 2

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 350℉ and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

  • Step 3

    Roll the pizza dough out into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 2-inch-wide strips, then into 2-inch squares.

  • Step 4

    Place a cube of mozzarella cheese at the center of a dough square. Brush the edges with a little bit of water and fold the edges over the cheese, securing tightly. Roll into a ball, then place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
