Creating Texas BBQ Pizza is easy and fun. Follow these simple steps to make your own mouthwatering pizza.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)
- 2 cups cooked brisket, shredded or chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
- Olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Prepare Pizza Crust: Roll out your pizza crust on a floured surface to your desired thickness. If using a store-bought crust, follow package instructions.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Lightly brush the crust with olive oil for added flavor and to help it crisp up.
- Add BBQ Sauce: Spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer the Meats: Evenly distribute the cooked brisket over the BBQ sauce, ensuring every slice will have a good amount of meat.
- Sprinkle Cheeses: Top the brisket with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, creating a cheesy layer that will melt beautifully.
- Add Onions and Jalapeños: Scatter the thinly sliced red onions and jalapeños over the cheese for added flavor and heat.
- Place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for a burst of freshness.
- Cut the pizza into slices and serve hot, with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired.
Notes
- This pizza can be customized with your choice of meats and toppings.
