Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf italian or french bread, cut in half. you can pull out a little of the inside if you don't want it too 'bready'
  • 1 cup bbq jackfruit or chicken per half since I do chicken on half and jackfruit on the other, I breakdown ingredients by half
  • 1 small onion or half large, cut into slices
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar optional to stir into the onion
  • 1-2 cups BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450. Toast bread with a light drizzle of olive oil for 5 minutes .
  2. While the oven is preheating, start to cook the onion. Cook over medium heat in a little oil. When the oil dries up and onions brown a little, add a splash of water to scrape off brown bits. Keep repeating this for about 10 minutes. We are lightly carmelizing the onion.
  3. Now for the filling. If you are using just jackfruit, you are already done and ready to top the pizza. If you are using chicken, mix 1 loosely packed cup per loaf slice with (2 cups total if only using chicken) with 1 cup BBQ sauce per half. Again 2 cups total if only using chicken. Stir in onion.
  4. Now to assemble. I like to spread a very thin layer of marinara sauce over each loaf, about 1/4 cup total for both slices. Then top each half with whichever topping your using. Then top with mozzarella. I use a little over a cup total.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes. Top with fresh cilantro optional
