# How to Make It:
01 -
Pat the short ribs dry and season generously with salt and black pepper. Sear in a hot skillet until browned on all sides.

Transfer the browned short ribs to a slow cooker. Add enough broth to submerge partially and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until fully tender. Remove and shred the meat, discarding excess fat and bones.

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and translucent. Add heavy cream and stir in the shredded smoked gouda, whisking until melted and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
05 -
Spread the smoked gouda cream sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Top with generous amounts of shredded short rib meat.
06 -
Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the toppings are bubbling.
07 -
Remove from the oven and let cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped basil or parsley before slicing and serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Allow the cooked short ribs to cool slightly before shredding for easier handling and better texture.
