BBQ Montreal Smoked Turkey Pizza

Makes two medium pizzas

For the Dough

• 2 ¼ tsp Active Dry Yeast
• ¾ cup Water, 100-115°
• 1 ¼ tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 cups All-purpose Flour

For the Sauce & Toppings

• ¼ cup Semolina Flour
• ½ cup Smokey BBQ Sauce
• 8 oz Shredded Mozzarella & Cheddar Cheese Blend
• 6 oz Augie’s Montreal Smoked Turkey, chopped
• 1 ½ cups Corn, cut off the cob
• 1 ½ cups Red Onion, thinly sliced
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Pizza Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl whisk together the yeast, water, salt, olive oil, and honey. Let stand for a few minutes until the yeast starts getting foamy on the surface.
2. Place in the flour and stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula until a lumpy dough forms around the spoon, and comes away from the side of the bowl.
3. Remove the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise to almost twice the size (about 45 minutes to 1 hour).

Directions

1. Preheat the grill to 550° with a pizza stone on the middle of the grill grate.
2. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each portion into thin circles about 10 inches wide. Place 1 of the doughs onto a pizza peel dusted with semolina flour.
3. Spread ½ the bbq sauce evenly around the crust leaving about ½ – 1 inch edge. Cover with ½ the cheese blend, and top with ½ the Augie’s Montreal Smoked Turkey, ½ the corn, and ½ the red onion. Season with some salt and pepper.
4. Place onto the pizza stone and close the lid for about 3-4 minutes. Rotate the pizza180 degrees, cover, and cook for another 2-4 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Remove to a cooling rack for a couple minutes before slicing.
5. Repeat with the other pizza crust and toppings.
