I have a serious love for short ribs so I am testing it every which way, upside down, backwards and forwards. This one was easy. I used the braising liquid over the dough and it sure makes for a delicious sauce. The different cheeses all compliment each other and it turns out that yummy melted brie is divine with short ribs! Then for a little sweetness I tossed on some caramelized onions

Plan ahead if you’re making this- toss the short ribs in earlier in the day so they’re nice and tender and delicious when you go to make the pizza. Oh! And also, let the pizza dough rise even if it doesn’t say it on the package (see below)
