Course: Entree
Cuisine: bbq, Pizza
Keyword: brisket pizza
Servings: 1 14" pizza
Cost: $10

Ingredients

  • 1 store bought or homemade pizza dough
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal (just enough to cover board if you are using a pizza stone)
  • ½ cup red onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (I use homemade)
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce (or plain tomato sauce)
  • 1 generous cup of leftover brisket meat, shredded
  • 1 green onion, finely diced (both white and green parts)
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded smoked cheddar cheese
  • 1 handful cilantro, chopped (more or less depending on your true feelings about cilantro)
  • ½ teaspoon Maldon (or finishing salt, it’s not necessary but adds a really nice finishing flavor and makes everything else “pop”)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees, with pizza stone centered on the top rack.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil (or a combination of both) and cook onions, stirring occasionally, until soft and browned (approx 15 minutes).
  • In a separate small bowl, mix the BBQ sauce and pizza sauce together.
  • Stretch and roll out pizza dough to desired width. We have a 16” pizza stone, so we stretch the pizza to approx 14”.
  • Place dough on pizza pan or board with a tablespoon of cornmeal (if you will be using your stone to cook the pizza. The cornmeal helps the pizza slide off onto the stone). Alternatively, another trick is to place a piece of parchment paper between the pizza pan and the dough. It helps to transfer a heavier pizza in the oven. Roll out your dough to desired width.
  • Layer your dough with the sauce, then layer on the caramelized onions, leftover brisket, green onions, tomatoes, and both cheeses.
  • Bake approx 15 minutes or until sides look crisp and cheese is melted.
  • After removing the pizza garnish with cilantro and a pinch of finishing salt.

Notes

These measurements are for a 12"-14" pizza. Adjust ingredients based upon your pizza dough.
