Grilled Pulled Pork Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place the pizza crust onto a baking sheet.
• In a bowl, mix the barbeque sauce with chipotle chili powder; season with salt and black pepper.
• Spread the sauce over the pizza crust.
• Arrange pulled pork, sliced onion, and red bell pepper slices evenly over the pizza.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the toppings are hot and the pizza crust is crisp on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, yellow mustard, Worcestershire, garlic, salt, red and black peppers. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Allow sauce to simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool.
• Place a pizza stone on the lowest rack of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F.
• Sprinkle about 2 to 3 tablespoons of yellow cornmeal on a baker's peel or baking sheet. Place the rolled out pizza dough on the prepared baker's peel or baking sheet.
• Spoon 1 cup of the cooled barbecue sauce over the pizza dough, leaving about 3/4-inch of dough uncovered around the edge. Spread the pulled pork over the sauce, then top with the onion slices and chopped bell pepper. Spread the cheeses evenly over the top. Using a quick flick of the wrist, slide the prepared pizza onto the hot pizza stone and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden and cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve with remaining barbecue sauce, if desired.
• In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, honey, and 1 tablespoon oil, stirring to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until the dough is smooth but still slightly sticky. You may not need all of the flour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Oil a large mixing bowl with remaining olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place, free from drafts until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Punch dough down and turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 15-inch circle.
• Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before proceeding.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a roasting pan with aluminum foil. Season the roast well on all sides with the Essence, salt, and cayenne pepper. Place a roasting rack inside the roasting pan and place the seasoned pork on the rack, fat side up. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours.
• Remove the foil from the roast and continue to bake until the roast is very tender and will pull apart easily with a fork, about 2 hours longer. Remove the pork from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Remove any excess fat from the roast and discard. Using two forks or your hands, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Steps:

• Preheat grill.
• Divide pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll into rounds about 8- to 9-inches in diameter. Place pizza rounds on hot grill. Allow to slightly brown on both sides.
• Remove rounds from grill and top with barbecue sauce, pulled pork, onion, pickles, tomatoes and cheese, in that order.
• Return to the grill over a low heat. Close lid and grill until cheese is melted. Remove and serve.
