Instructions

In a measuring cup combine yeast and warm water. Wait until mixture is creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in cold water and olive oil.
In a medium bowl mix flour and salt with a fork. Pour yeast mixture into the flour mixture.
If using instant yeast, combine everything together at once.
Mix together until a sticky dough forms then transfer to a well-floured surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.
Cover dough with towel, in a bowl and cover for 15 minutes.
Knead dough again and place dough in a greased bowl and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
At this point, the pizza dough can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
Flour covered dough can also be placed in a freezer bag and placed in a freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to use, make sure pizza dough is at room temperature.
Preheat oven to 500ºF.
In a small bowl, mix together marinara and barbecue sauce.
Prepare 9-inch pizza pan by scattering corn meal evenly over it.
Spread dough onto prepare pan and add spread bbq-marinara sauce evenly over the pizza dough.
Scatter shredded cheese evenly over the sauce. Top with pulled pork and onions.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is brown and bubbly.
Garnish pizza with cilantro and arugula and serve.

Notes

You can keep your pulled pork pizza simple or jazz it up with more toppings. Some fun garnishes you can add to your finished pizza are fresh cilantro, green onions, arugula, olives or even slices of pickles.

TO STORE: Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container or wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

TO FREEZE: You can also freeze leftover pizza. Wrap in foil or transfer to a resealable bag or freezer safe container and freeze for up to 4 months.

TO REHEAT: Breads do not reheat well in the microwave as it turns gummy and can also harden like a rock. Prefer reheating leftover pizza in the toaster oven. If you don’t have a toaster oven, place it in a hot oven instead and warm until cheesy is melty.
