Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If using a pizza stone, dust a pizza peel or parchment with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

- Bake: Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Finish and serve: Let the pizza rest, drizzle with more BBQ sauce, sprinkle with cilantro, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe.
- For a spicier kick, add jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
- Naan or flatbread can be used for individual pizzas.
