2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the drained jackfruit and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the BBQ sauce to the jackfruit, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the jackfruit is heated through and coated in sauce.

5. Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce over the base of the pizza dough.
7. Evenly distribute the BBQ jackfruit mixture over the pizza base.
8. Add the sliced red onion, bell pepper, and corn kernels on top of the jackfruit.
9. Sprinkle the vegan cheese evenly over the toppings.
10. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
11. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
12. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired, then serve and enjoy!
