Description

Leftover Chinese Char Siu, a sweet barbecue pork, placed on top of a pizza with onions and jalapenos. A great balance of sweet heat.

Ingredients

  • ½ Tablespoons Light Cornmeal For Dusting
  • 1 pound Your Favorite Pizza Dough, Rolled Or Tossed Into 12″ Round
  • ½ cups Tomato Sauce
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • ½ cups Thinly Sliced Onion
  • ½ whole Jalapeno Pepper, Sliced
  • ½ cups Chinese Char Siu, Sliced And Cooked

Preparation

Heat your oven to the highest temperature, with a pizza stone inside. In my case, I use my Kettle Pizza. I think I have mastered pizzas using this apparatus. Again get it up to the highest temperature. I find that around 620 F or somewhere in that area is a great temperature to get a pizza cooked in a matter of minutes.

While your stone is heating up, make the pizza.

Lightly dust a pizza peel with the cornmeal. Shape your dough and lay it onto the peel. Lightly toss on the sauce, cheese, onions, jalapenos, and sliced Char Siu.

Slide the pizza off of the peel onto the hot stone in the oven and cook for a couple of minutes. Once the dough begins to cook, in my case pretty quickly, take some tongs and turn it 45 degrees to prevent any hot spots.

Once cooked to your liking (around 10 minutes total), remove it from the stone using your pizza peel, set it on your cutting board and slice and serve.
