Pizza King-Style BBQ Ham Pizza

Notebook notes: par-bake the crust for 5 minutes so the sauce does not soak in. Use extra sauce and cheese.

Ingredients

• 2½ cups all-purpose flour, plus 2–3 tablespoons more if needed
• Extra flour for the work surface
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup deli ham, cut into 1-inch pieces
• Open Pit barbecue sauce, to taste
• ½ cup shredded provolone
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• ½ teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly stir in the water and olive oil to form a dough. Knead in extra flour if the dough is sticky.
2. Rest the dough for 5–10 minutes while heating the oven and a pizza stone to 450°F.
3. Roll the dough on a floured surface into a thin 16-inch round. Transfer it to the hot stone and par-bake for 5 minutes.
4. Spread barbecue sauce to the edges of the crust. Add the ham, provolone, mozzarella, and dill.
5. Bake at 450°F for 12–15 minutes, then cut into squares.

A store-bought fresh pizza dough can be substituted. Roll it thinly, prick it with a fork, and follow its package temperature instructions.
