Yield about 250 pork and cheese pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 27

3 tablespoons dark chili powder
3 tablespoons granulated garlic
3 tablespoons mustard powder
3 tablespoons granulated onion
3 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons cayenne
1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups liquid smoke
1 bone-in pork shoulder (approximately 5 pounds)
Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
Five 12-ounce balls store-bought pizza dough
10 packed cups shredded smoked gouda
1 onion, chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped garlic
One 28-ounce can San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
One 7-ounce can chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped with the liquid
Three 20-ounce bottles ketchup
1-quart apple cider
9 ounces brown mustard
1 cup molasses
1/4 cup dark chili powder
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Place a rack in a roasting pan.
  • For the spice rub: Combine the chili powder, granulated garlic, mustard powder, granulated onion, paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne and oregano in a medium bowl.
  • For the wet mop: Combine the apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke and 2 cups water in a large bowl.
  • Rub the pork with the spice rub and place on the rack. Pour the wet mop over the top and cover the roasting pan with 2 layers of aluminum foil.
  • Roast the pork until it shreds easily in numerous places, approximately 6 hours. Shred the pork and toss it with the Barbecue Sauce. (The mixture will keep up to a week in airtight containers in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer.)
  • Increase the oven heat to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • For the rollups: Roll out one of the balls of pizza dough into an 18-by-9-inch rectangle. Lay the shredded pork mixture (about 1 pound) in the center of the rectangle, leaving about a 1-inch border. Sprinkle 2 cups of the gouda over top. Starting on the long side, roll the pizza dough up so that you have a long spiral about 2- to 3-inches thick and 18 inches long. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Bake the rolls on the prepared baking sheets, in batches if necessary, until cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes. Slice into rounds about 1/3-inch thick and serve warm. Each roll should yield about 50 pork and cheese rounds.
  • Cook the onion in the oil in a large pot over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and chipotle peppers, breaking them up with a wooden spoon. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Puree the sauce in a food processor in batches, if necessary.
  • Return the sauce to the pot and add the ketchup, apple cider, mustard, molasses, chili powder, paprika and cayenne. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook at a bare simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours.
  • Cool to room temperature. (The sauce will keep up to a week in airtight containers in the fridge and up to 6 months in the freezer.)
