Who doesn ’ t love barbecue ? If you happen to be a big fan of barbecue , then you might enjoy our recipe BBQ flatbread . The recipe makes eight servings , and the end product is comparable to a BBQ pizza . However , by using cornmeal , you ’ ll end up with a meal that ’ s far richer and more flavorful than any store-bought BBQ pizza . While the original recipe doesn ’ t call for the addition of meat , we suggest topping it off with some BBQ meats like chicken , beef or turkey . You can also add a little extra cheese and a few sweet onions , too .

INGREDIENTS
1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 cup masa harina or finely ground yellow cornmeal
2 ounces Cabot Pepper Jack , grated ( about ¼ cup )
4 ounces Cabot Farmhouse Reserve Cheddar , grated ( about 1 cup )
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup cold water
TOPPINGS :
Dakin Farm Pork BBQ Meat or other BBQ pulled beef , turkey , or duck legs
6 ounces Cabot Sharp Cheddar , grated ( about 1½ cups )
1 large sweet onion , caramelized
½ cup BBQ sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
ADD cheeses to flour , stir to coat and separate . Add baking powder and salt and mix using the paddle attachment on a stand up mixer , the plastic blade in a processor , or a wooden spoon .
COVER the dough with a towel and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes . This gives the cornmeal time to soften . It can also be refrigerated and brought to room temp 30 minutes before using , or frozen wrapped in double plastic for up to 1 month . This is a very workable dough and requires minimal flouring of the work board .
DIVIDE the dough into 4 ( 16 × 12 ”) to 8 ( 6 × 8 ”) pieces and roll to a 1 / 4 ” thickness .
HEAT a cast iron skillet until the pan is screaming hot . Brush any flour off each piece or it will burn . Cook each side about 1 minute .
LAYER the meat , onions , cheese and sauce . Bake at 425 ° for 15 minutes or until the cheese melts .
