Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12-inch size) Pizza dough
- 1.5 cups Pulled pork
- 0.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup (fresh or canned, drained) Pineapple chunks
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Dust a clean work surface with cornmeal or flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
In a small bowl, mix the pulled pork with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce to coat it lightly. Set aside.
Spread the remaining barbecue sauce over the surface of the dough, creating a thin and even layer.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce layer.
Evenly distribute the pulled pork, pineapple chunks, and red onion slices over the pizza.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the toppings.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is bubbling and melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before slicing and serving.
