Pulled Pork Buns Recipe

1. Pull the pizza dough out of the fridge and allow it to rise to room temperature. Take the bread clip off the bag and make sure there is space for the dough to expand. While you are waiting, preheat your barbecue to 375°F (190°C) by lighting all burners to low.
2. Prep the ingredients by warming the pulled pork, adding sauce as needed, and shredding your cheese. Brush or spray your cast iron pan with butter or nonstick.
3. Dust your work surface with flour and roll the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 12 by 15 inches (30 cm by 38 cm) and 1/4 -inch thick (0.6 cm).
4. Brush the rolled-out dough with barbecue sauce. Top that with ¾ of the cheese and a thick layer of warm pulled pork. Roll the long edge into a tight spiral like a sleeping bag.
5. Once rolled, place the dough, seam side down, and slice into 6 to 8 even sections. Arrange the sections in the cast iron frying pan. Allow them to rest in the cast iron pan for 10 to 15 minutes before baking.
6. Bake the pulled pork rolls in the barbecue for 20 to 40 minutes, checking after 20 minutes for doneness. You may need to turn off the burners below the frying pan and turn up the ones that are not under the frying pan. Just keep an eye on the barbecue's temperature and how the rolls are cooking, adjusting as needed.
7. When nearly done, top with the remaining cheese.
8. Remove the buns from the barbecue when they are cooked through. Drizzle with barbecue sauce and then rest for 10 minutes before serving with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
9. *If you do not have a cast iron pan and plan to use a baking dish or cake pan, be sure to turn off the burners under the pan leaving only the burners on either side of the buns on. You may need to turn them up to maintain heat.
