Crossbuck Brisket Pizza

Overview

For Crossbuck BBQ's brisket pizza recipe (which may more accurately be described as a flatbread), Tim started by making the dough, rolling it thin and then drizzling it with a bit of truffle and olive oil.  His goal was to create a light, airy crust and not overpower the pizza with a heavy BBQ sauce.  As usual, he wanted the brisket to be the star of this show while complementing it with fresh basil, spinach, cremini mushrooms and a bit of smoked cheddar cheese.

Instructions

Make the Dough

  1. In a mixer add the first three ingredients.  Give it a couple twirls with the hook attachment and let it sit until frothy. Add in the vegetable oil.
  2. In a separate bowl combine the flour and salt. Add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture, 1/3 cup at a time, mixing well between additions with the hook attachment. Add the flour until the dough can be pulled away from the sides of the bowl and starts to form a ball. The dough will still be pretty sticky. You may need to add in a little bit more or less flour.
  3. Grease a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl and oil the top of the dough also. Cover the bowl with a towel and a let the dough rise at room temperature until twice the size, at least 1 hour.
  4. Put the dough on a floured work surface and form into one large ball. Cut that ball into 3 equal portions.  Each portion is enough for one normal sized thin crust pizza.

Prepare the Dough

  1. Roll out the pizza dough to the desired size - about 10" to 11".  You could also try your hand at "tossing the dough" which has the added benefit of creating a crust that is crunchier on the outside and lighter and airier in the middle...but that get's a little advanced.  So, let's just stick with rolling out the dough.
  2. After properly rolled...prick the dough with a fork to create exits for the steam.  You will fork the dough every inch on every spot but your desired crust.
  3. Evenly drizzle ½ of the truffle oil and the olive oil over the crust.

Bake the Pizza

Place the pizza on a flour dusted pan and bake at 425° for 7 - 9 minutes.  This should yield a pizza with a beautiful golden brown appearance.
