Ingredients
  

  • 1 ball of pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce your favorite brand or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked brisket thinly sliced or shredded
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onions
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it inside to heat up for a crispier crust.
  • Prepare the dough by rolling it out on a lightly floured surface into your desired shape—round or rectangular works fine.
  • Spread BBQ sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  • Add your toppings — sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the sauce, then evenly distribute the brisket and red onion slices.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro after removing from the oven for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Slice and serve warm, enjoying the perfect combination of smoky, tangy, and cheesy goodness.
