Pulled Pork Sandwich
About This Course
Dive into the art of crafting a mouthwatering Pulled Pork Sandwich from scratch. This course (or recipe guide) walks you through every step, from selecting the perfect cut of pork to slow-cooking it until it’s tender enough to shred effortlessly. You’ll learn how to season and smoke (or oven-roast) the meat to achieve that authentic, smoky flavor, assemble a tangy house-made barbecue sauce, and layer it all on a soft, lightly toasted bun. By the end, you’ll have mastered the signature textures and flavors that make the Pulled Pork Sandwich an irresistible classic.

Shredding & Resting: Properly resting the cooked pork, shredding techniques (fork vs. claw), and keeping the meat moist.
BBQ Sauce Basics: Making a homemade barbecue sauce (vinegar-based, tomato-based, or mustard-based variations) and adjusting sweetness, acidity, and heat.
Sandwich Assembly: Choosing the ideal bun (brioche, kaiser roll, or potato roll), layering techniques to prevent sogginess, and adding complementary toppings (coleslaw, pickles, onions).
