Prepare the pizza dough using active dry yeast, sugar, kosher salt, oil, all-purpose flour, and cornmeal, and let it rise until doubled in size.

Preheat the Traeger grill to the appropriate temperature for wood-fired cooking.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to desired thickness.

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a border.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Add fresh basil leaves on top of the cheese.

Drizzle olive oil over the pizza for added flavor.

Carefully transfer the pizza to the hot grill using a pizza peel.

Bake until the crust is charred and bubbly, about 90 seconds to 2 minutes.

Remove the pizza from the grill and let it cool slightly.

Sprinkle with sea salt and grated parmesan cheese before slicing.

Serve hot and enjoy your wood-fired pizza.
