Pizza..flatbread...pizza...flatbread. What's the difference? I reckon if something is called a "pizza" it should be vaguely Italian, which this was not. What's used from the CSA? Thinly sliced red onion and a chopped red Thai chili from last weeks' basket.
So, I've been working on a lot of Vivian Howard's recipes from Deep Run Roots. Early this summer, I made her Blueberry Barbecue sauce, and I've used it on pork barbecue, as well as on grilled chicken or pork. I've also used it as a flavoring for seltzer (like a "shrub"). I found a recipe online in which she used the Blueberry Barbecue sauce on a barbecued chicken flatbread: Link to flatbread recipe
I love to make pizza, so this was super-intriguing. Recently I had some leftover grilled pork tenderloin, and I had the sauce in the fridge and, believe it or not, some smoked gouda from some other recipe I can't recall the name of. But there it was, threatening to get moldy so let's use it up! I used the recipe as a guide. I substituted chopped grilled pork tenderloin for chicken, and used the red onion from the farm. I didn't have jalepeƱos, but I did have some Thai red chilies from last week's basket and I used one of them. I also used this pizza dough recipe: Link to pizza dough recipe.
I rolled out 12 oz of dough to make a flatbreat, and covered it with 4-5 tbs of Blue Barbecue sauce. Then I put the chopped pork tenderloin (4 oz) on, and added 5 oz of the shredded smoked gouda. I added about 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, and one chopped red Thai chile.
Before baking:
note: I start my pizzas on parchment - bake 5 min, then slide off the parchment onto the stone and bake 5 more min. Much easier to get the raw pizza dough onto the stone.
After baking:
Ugly, but very, very tasty.
