Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 1 pound) Pizza dough
- 2 cups (fully cooked) Pulled pork
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 thinly sliced Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (for dusting) All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed for even heating.
On a clean surface, lightly dust with flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or to your preferred thickness.
Brush one side of the rolled-out dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the pulled pork with 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce until well-coated.
Carefully place the pizza dough, oiled side down, directly onto the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 2-3 minutes, or until the dough starts to bubble and grill marks form on the underside.
Carefully remove the dough from the grill. Place it grilled side up on a clean baking sheet or cutting board.
Brush the grilled side of the dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce evenly over the surface.
Evenly distribute the pulled pork across the pizza, then top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Sprinkle the thinly sliced red onion over the cheese layer.
Carefully return the pizza to the grill. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Using a large spatula or pizza peel, remove the pizza from the grill and transfer to a cutting board.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, if desired, for a burst of freshness.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your smoky, savory grilled pulled pork pizza!
