Smoked Traeger Pizza Roll Ups

Best Traeger pizza with frozen bread dough is such a fun and easy dinner idea!! Use ready made refrigerated pizza dough for this too to make these semi homemade pizza roll ups in your electric or pellet grill this week.

Pizza Roll Ups

Obsessed with cheesy meals, beyond a few quick air fryer pizza rolls for lunch, I bet you’re going to love this too. You can use ready made refrigerated dough or frozen Rhodes bread which is what we did.

We started this journey creating a lot of electric smoker recipes. Those will work too if you’re looking for more ideas. You can bookmark this post above because we add more and more as the years go on.

To get your meats absolutely perfect we have this printable meat smoking chart to refer to so each and every time it will be fork tender.

Traeger Pizza Recipe

There are a few choices when it comes to the dough. I personally recommend you get Rhodes frozen bread loaves and use one, it’s the perfect size. Alternatively you could make homemade pizza dough.

1. Frozen loaf of bread dough
   1. defrosted for 2 hours
2. Pepperoni
3. Cheese
4. Butter or olive oil
5. Italian seasoning
6. Minced garlic
7. Garlic salt
8. Baking sheet
9. Rolling pin

A baking sheet with foil on top is what we used to set it on. You could serve this as dinner, or slice it on a tray as one of our favorite Traeger appetizers.

Pizza on the Traeger

We made pizza on a bbq years back and that was kinda’ fun. I wouldn’t say it worked better than in the oven, and I probably prefer that. BUT this version was different.

Aside from the dough being pre-made it was pretty homemade. 😉 I don’t know if I’d recommend things like mushrooms, but sliced olives would be a great add in with your pepperoni or Canadian bacon.

Cooking Pizza on Traeger without Stone

You can use the same pan as you would in the oven to make this, no expensive pizza stone needed for this one.

As far as cheese goes, it is up to you. I thought I had mozzarella at home but I didn’t. Instead I had a bag of our favorite Mexican cheese blend which actually turned out to taste amazing. I like a mix of cheddar on my pies anyway.

Smoked pizza

Can you cook a pizza in a smoker?

YES! If you make our homemade pizza roll up it will take 35 minutes set at 350 F. You could load it up with more pepperoni than this. I like more cheese than meat but everyone is different.

You could easily make this without meat and make a sort of cheesy smoker bread too! Serve it as a side dish for a 4th of July or Halloween party and it would be a hit. You could easily put 2 on the baking sheet at a time too.

Traeger Pizza with Refrigerated Pizza Dough

Here’s a quick rundown of how this is prepped and cooked. If you’re using frozen loaf of bread, set on a piece of parchment paper and let it defrost for 2 hours.

• Put dough on non stick cutting board and roll out into a rectangle about 18×12″. Melt butter, garlic, garlic salt and Italian seasonings together. Brush 1/2 this on to your dough with a brush.
• Lay down pepperoni pieces to cover area. Then sprinkle on cheese so you have a nice coated layer.

Slowly roll up on one end tightly and put end open piece on the bottom of the roll on a piece of lightly sprayed foil on your baking sheet. I mean you could leave it flat to make it cook faster but we think this is more fun and easier to eat.

Spray underside of a piece of foil (or use plastic wrap) and tent over the top of your roll. Allow to rest and rise a bit for 30 minutes on your counter.

• Preheat your smoker now to 350 degrees F. (could bake in oven at same temp.)
• Leave foil tented on top and put baking sheet on smoker grates.
• Close lid and cook for 20 minutes, then remove foil and continue cooking for 15 minutes until top is lightly golden brown.

Remove and allow to rest on counter for 15 minutes before slicing.
Dip pieces into spaghetti sauce and enjoy.

Cooking pizza on Traeger without stone

Slice this same loaf defrosted into strips and make pull apart pigs in a blanket too. I have used parchment paper instead of foil underneath but it does leave the bottom a bit browner than I’d like. If you have leftovers we share how to reheat pizza in air fryer here for you too.

Easy smoker recipes you should try after this one:

1. You can throw on a pan full of smoked vegetables alongside this.
2. Our smoked chicken thighs with teriyaki sauce are to die for.
3. If you want to know how to smoke salmon we have directions for that too.
4. Then try our smoked pulled pork Traeger recipe next.
5. With some monkey bread in a smoker for dessert.

You can use this same bread loaf and make this cinnamon bread wreath or a air fryer hot pocket stuffed with the same ingredients.
