Ingredients
- 1 boneless pork shoulder butt roast (2-1/2 pounds)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup thinly sliced onion
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 cup Lincoln County Reserve 100% Pure Maple Syrup, divided
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 loaves (1 pound each ) frozen bread dough, thawed
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
- Chopped green onions and crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
- Season pork with mustard, salt, cayenne pepper and ginger; place in a 4-qt. slow cooker. Top with onion and garlic; pour in 1/2 cup maple syrup, water and cider vinegar. Cook, covered, on low 5-7 hours or until meat is tender. Shred meat with 2 forks; discard cooking liquid and vegetables.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 loaf dough into a 16×10-in. rectangle. Combine barbecue sauce with remaining syrup; brush 1/4 cup sauce mixture to within 1/2 in. of dough edges. Top with half the pork. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut crosswise into 8 slices. Place in a 9-in. pie plate, cut sides down. Repeat with remaining dough and additional pie plate. Cover with kitchen towels; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Reserve remaining sauce mixture. Preheat oven to 400°.
- Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until melted, 5-10 minutes longer. Serve with reserved sauce mixture; sprinkle with green onions and red pepper flakes.
Tips
- If you have a favorite homemade or store-bought fresh dough, swap it for the frozen dough.
- Want to make the pork faster? Use your electric pressure cooker instead of a slow cooker. Select Manual, high pressure and set time for 75 minutes. Allow to naturally release for 10 minutes then quick-release any remaining pressure.
- Having trouble rolling your dough out? Leave it at room temp to relax for about 20 minutes and try again.
- Spray a serrated knife with nonstick cooking spray to cut these easily.
