BBQ Pizza

So you smoked some pork and got tons of leftovers. Man, you gotta make this pizza. Savory pulled pork, sweet and smoky sauce, spicy jalapeños and a super surprise of cilantro that really takes this pizza to the next level. The dough is a bit of a process but the rest is easy. To make the dough, check our Margherita Pizza episode. For everything else, you’ll need:

  • Pulled pork

  • Shredded Mozzarella cheese

  • Shredded Gouda cheese

  • Sliced red onion

  • Your favorite BBQ Sauce

  • Pickled jalapeños

  • Handful of cilantro

  • Your favorite BBQ dry rub/seasoning

First thing, put your pizza stone in the oven (top rack) while it preheats to 550º. Then add a layer of BBQ sauce to your dough. Layer on pulled pork, mozzarella cheese, gouda cheese, red onion and jalapeños. Once your pizza is assembled and you are ready to cook. Transfer the pizza to the stone and immediately turn off oven heat and turn on broiler to high. This should only take 4-5 minutes before your pizza is done

Remove pizza, add a handful of cilantro and season with your bbq rub. Slice and eat!
