Categories: Pizza/flatbread
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 1/2 pounds store-bought pizza dough (see Cook's Note)
- 4 cups grated sharp Cheddar
- 3 cups packed leftover pulled pork (about 1 3/4 pounds)
- 2 cups Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows, or store-bought
- 1 large egg, beaten, for egg wash
- Dill pickles and coleslaw, for serving
- Barbecue Sauce:
- 1 1/3 cups ketchup
- 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup whiskey or bourbon
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons dry mustard powder
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
-
Roll the dough into a 20-by-14-inch rectangle on a lightly floured work surface. Working from the shorter end of the dough, scatter the Cheddar evenly over half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on the sides. Arrange the pulled pork evenly over the Cheddar, then spoon 1 cup barbecue sauce over the pork. Working from the short side with the filling, tightly roll the dough up, jelly roll-style into a log. Pinch the open seams together to seal shut, then tuck them underneath the log.
-
Transfer the log to the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash. Bake until the bread is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
-
Let the bread cool for 10 minutes. Halve the bread lengthwise, then cut each half crosswise into 4 equal pieces and serve warm with the remaining cup barbecue sauce on the side, along with pickles and coleslaw.

Barbecue Sauce:
-
Combine the ketchup, sugar, whiskey, chili powder, mustard powder, onion powder, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic powder, coriander, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook the barbecue sauce, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sauce cool completely.
