How to Make BBQ Sauce at Home
BBQ Pulled Pork Flatbreads need BBQ sauce! Ideally, shred your pork the night before, once it’s cooled from your Sunday lunch, and marinade it in BBQ sauce overnight, so that your pork is soft, juicy, and filled with flavour on your BBQ pulled pork flatbread pizza.
I love to make my own BBQ sauce, it’s really simple, and you can adjust it to taste easily.
I make a ketchup-based sauce with spices, butter, garlic, and honey. And just simmer the ingredients together for 15 minutes. You can get my full BBQ sauce recipe here.
What Can I Use Instead of BBQ Sauce?
