Ingredients

- ¼ cup all-purpose flour for rolling the dough
- 6 tablespoons BBQ sauce use your favorite sauce

Instructions
- Make the pizza dough with my pizza dough recipe, or if using storebought dough allow the pizza dough to sit on the counter uncovered for at least thirty minutes so it stretches easier.12 ounces pizza dough
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Add ¼ cup of cornmeal to the baking sheet and spread out over the pan with most of the cornmeal in the middle. You can also use a round pizza pan if you have one.¼ cup cornmeal
- Lightly flour a clean countertop. Gently stretch and knead the pizza dough. Add a sprinkle of flour as you stretch the dough if the dough becomes sticky. Add flour to the rolling pin and roll the pizza dough until it is about twelve inches across¼ cup all-purpose flour
- Move the dough to the prepared pan on top of the cornmeal. Curl the edge of the dough in just a little to give the pizza a thicker crust and a rounder shape.
- Add about 6 tablespoons BBQ sauce to the center of the pizza dough. With the back of a large spoon, spread the sauce evenly over the pizza crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the BBQ sauce.6 tablespoons BBQ sauce, 1 cup mozzarella cheese

Notes
If you are making this pizza on a rectangular pan like a baking sheet with a lip, you may need to stretch the dough to be more oval in shape rather than perfectly round.
